Grace Chorale of Brooklyn (Choir with orchestra)
"Messiahs False and True"
During periods of cultural crises, people have historically turned to charismatic individuals who offer messianic messages of redemption and salvation. Over the centuries, there have been many such individuals; some became our greatest heroes, while others proved to be dystopian villains. This concert features two classic spring pieces: Cry and Shout by Knut Nystedt and Rejoice in the Lamb by Benjamin Britten, along with the incredible Messiahs False and True by Rex Isenberg. This dramatic and gorgeous piece premiered in New York City in 2015 and examines the rise and fall of the messianic figure in society. The libretto combines texts, recited by a narrator, which describe or were spoken by charismatic leaders from throughout history. These recited texts are juxtaposed with passages from the Old and New Testaments, sung in Latin by the choir, with the very last movement sung in English –- a poem included in the prologue to Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self-Reliance. Plymouth Church, 57 Orange Street, Brooklyn, NY
Admission: $15; students / seniors $12.

Grace Chorale of Brooklyn (Choir with orchestra)
"Messiahs False and True"
During periods of cultural crises, people have historically turned to charismatic individuals who offer messianic messages of redemption and salvation. Over the centuries, there have been many such individuals; some became our greatest heroes, while others proved to be dystopian villains. This concert features two classic spring pieces: Cry and Shout by Knut Nystedt and Rejoice in the Lamb by Benjamin Britten, along with the incredible Messiahs False and True by Rex Isenberg. This dramatic and gorgeous piece premiered in New York City in 2015 and examines the rise and fall of the messianic figure in society. The libretto combines texts, recited by a narrator, which describe or were spoken by charismatic leaders from throughout history. These recited texts are juxtaposed with passages from the Old and New Testaments, sung in Latin by the choir, with the very last movement sung in English –- a poem included in the prologue to Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self-Reliance. Plymouth Church, 57 Orange Street, Brooklyn, NY
Admission: $15; students / seniors $12.
