Christchurch Transitional Cathedral music director John Linker curated the programme with a mix of organ favourites to pieces associated with lent.
Linker, who moved to New Zealand in 2015, said he felt "grateful to be living in a country where we are able to have events like this".
The holy week and Easter events did not take place last year because of the Covid-19 Lockdown.
An audience member described the show as "an absolute success and a great start to holy week at the Cathedral".
