Description

Our season finale is a compelling meeting of sacred traditions and modern expression, pairing Steve Dobrogosz’s Mass—a luminous, jazz-influenced setting of the Latin text—with R. Nathaniel Dett’s Chariot Jubilee, a groundbreaking fusion of African American spirituals and classical oratorio. Together, these works celebrate faith, resilience, and cultural voice through two distinct yet harmoniously powerful musical languages.
