Minnesota Orchestra presents "Mass" by Leonard Bernstein

This coming Thursday and Friday evening, the Minnesota Chorale will join the Minnesota Orchestra in performances of Leonard Bernstein's "Mass". This is a cool piece, and is not frequently performed in its entirety. Student rush tickets may be available on Thursday evening. Highly recommended: there are moments of intense beauty and high drama. Music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Wicked) with an interesting contribution by Paul Simon. Click here for more information.

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to sing this piece again.
