Carlos Alberto Pinto Fonseca:  Missa Afro-Brasileira. A dynamic work for acapella chorus, the Missa Afro-Brasilieria (1976) won the "Best Vocal Work" prize of the Associação dos Críticos de São Paulo.  In the words of composer Carlos Fonseca, "Brazil means contrast, mixture, syncretism, the new, side by side with the old. In this work, I have tried to abolish barriers between sacred, classical, and popular music and portray the impulse and warmth and religious syncretism of Brazilians."

MAY

Saturday, May 21, 7:30 pm and Sunday May 22, 4:00 pm

George Frederic Handel: Israel in Egypt. Oratorial drama as only Handel can manufacture. Using orchestral and choral color, Handel consumately portrays the story of the deliverance of Israel from bondage in Egypt into the promised land.  Plagues, storms, brooding gloom, tenderness and ultimate and glorious triumph are marvelously written for double chorus, orchestra, and soloists.

Venues to be posted soon.
