Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms" (and Conversation with Alexander Bernstein)
Leonard Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms,” an exhilarating and accessible work that expresses the composer’s hope for fellowship and peace in the world, will be performed by the choirs of Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church and Beth El Congregation under the baton of Tom Hall. Michael Britt will play the organ accompaniment. A reception follows.
The program will begin with a conversation between Tom Hall and Alexander Bernstein, the composer’s son. The choirs will also perform the premiere of Cantor Thom King’s “Psalm 24” as well as C. Hubert H. Parry’s “I was Glad.”
