Music Director Lisa Graham leads the 100-voice chorus, soloists, and orchestra in Metropolitan Chorale’s final concert of the season featuring The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace by the Welsh composer Karl Jenkins.
This powerful, anti-war composition based on the Catholic Mass evokes the descent into war, moments of reflection, the horrors that war brings, and the hope for peace. Jenkins connects to audiences with powerful texts and music, from jazz and a 15th-century French folk tune to an Islamic call to prayer, African-inspired rhythms, and poetry by a survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima.
The concert soloists are the Chorale’s Artists in Residence, Dana Schnitzer, soprano; Oriana Dunlop, mezzo-soprano; Jonas Budris, tenor; Matthew Wight, bass. The Chorale’s tenor, Moe Khan, is the reciter of the Call to Prayer.
Also on the program are Antonin Dvorák’s Te Deum for chorus, soloists and orchestra and Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings. The Armed Man premiered at The Royal Albert Hall, London, in April 2000 and has been performed only once before in the Boston Area. Get your tickets today for this unique and memorable concert, presented in partnership with Massachusetts Peace Action.
