Through the ages, across many cultures, there have been numerous depictions of Mary, the Blessed Mother, through visual art, sculpture and architecture. Similarly, in music, over the centuries, Mary has been celebrated in a treasure of Marian hymns – from Ave Maria to the majesty of the Bach Magnificat. And so, this season, you are invited to a contemporary celebration: The Gospel Magnificat: A Gospel/Jazz Setting of the Canticle of Mary. In addition to the gospel and jazz elements, the music embraces a palette to include the spirituals, blues, Middle Eastern themes and Brazilian rhythms. Also featured are guest vocalists and musicians, and a concert choir with voices from six faith traditions, as well as voices from The City Cantabile Choir and The African American Cultural Ensemble.
