Poignant, Urgent, Stirring...
Karl Jenkins' modern masterpiece, The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, is a reflection on humanity's capacity for destruction and the urgency of turning away from violence toward peace and shared human dignity. Combining sacred and secular texts set within traditional and contemporary melodies, the piece is an unflinching examination of the horrors of war, and an urgent exhortation to embrace the hope offered by compassion.
Other repertoire includes Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei and Lars Jansson's To the Mother's of Brazil: Salve Regina.
The Armed Man is an unforgettable multi-media performance with orchestra and video projections. The subject matter is at times intense. Recommended for ages 14+.
$20 - $45.
Presented by Masterworks Chorale.
