The 175 voices of The Cecilia Chorus of New York, led by Music Director Mark Shapiro, present excerpts from Haydn’s Missa in tempore belli alongside the world premiere of Robert Sirota and Victoria Sirota’s A Call for the Battle to Cease and the New York premiere of Mark Buller and Leah Lax’s Mass in Exile. The program is performed with orchestra, vocal and instrumental soloists, and guest youth choruses. Through evocative texts and music, the program responds to today’s hunger for justice and peace with an uplifting vision of inspiration.
