Leonard Bernstein “Mass”

GUEST ARTISTS:
Ken Anderson, Director of UCSD Gospel Choir; North Coast Singers; members of the UCSD Jazz Ensemble

Grab your tie-dyes and your love beads and return to the Age of Aquarius as La Jolla Symphony & Chorus presents the San Diego premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s stunning, often controversial, “Mass,” one of the icons of the 1970s. Commissioned by Jackie Kennedy for the opening of The Kennedy Center, “Mass” follows the liturgy through the Celebrant, portrayed by Ken Anderson, with frequent interruption and commentary from the “congregation.” Steven Schick conducts. Stage direction by Charlie Oates. Lighting design by Alan Burrett. Choreography by Allyson Green. Pre-concert lecture by Steven Schick one hour prior to concert times. Performed without intermission. Running time: approximately 100 minutes.
