On the Monday of Holy Week, March 29th, 2021, from 12pm-1pm EST, Amplify Female Composers premiered a one-hour meditation on the fourteen Stations of the Cross. An organ piece by a female composer reflecting on Lenten themes accompanies each Station. The organ works are offered virtually by fifteen outstanding organists from across the country.
