On March 26, 27, and 28, 2026, Rob Gardner’s Lamb of God was performed in Denver, Colorado for the 10th season. Since 2015, Lamb of God has been presented 33 times by the Littleton Colorado Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at The Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver. The beautiful Easter Oratorio is performed by the Cornerstone Chorale and Orchestra with soloists and narrators selected by the musical directors of Cornerstone.
Until 2022, the Chorale was known as the Colorado Mormon Chorale, having been created in 1985 for the dedication of the Colorado Denver Temple. For nearly 40 years, the Chorale was sponsored and led by the Church. In 2022, Church leadership asked Cornerstone Productions to assume sponsorship of the Chorale. The Cornerstone Chorale and Orchestra performs many times per year, often on behalf of the Church.
This year, for the first time in Colorado, all performances of Lamb of God were sold out with over 3,300 people attending the four performances held over three days. And, for the first time in Colorado, a youth Chorale and youth soloists performed the oratorio. In preparation for the performance, the youth, ages 14-24, gathered for two months for 90-minute weekly rehearsals.
Audience members during the three days of worship and hope were moved by the beautiful music and the powerful spiritual message of Lamb of God. Many shared their experience afterwards. Pastor Thomas Mayes, Pastor of Living Waters Christian Center and President of the Aurora chapter of the NAACP, wrote, “I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you so very much for allowing me to share in the Lamb of God experience. It was truly an awesome presentation and so inspiring that it laid the foundation for my sermon today, ‘Remember the Cross.’ I look forward to our continued fellowship with the Latter-day Saints of Jesus Christ.”
Lamb of God by Rob Gardner, will be presented by the Littleton Colorado Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for the 11th year on March 31, April 1, 2 and 3, 2027.
