The Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill

Toivo Tulev: A Child Said, What Is the Grass? (world premiere)
James Primosch: Mass for the Day of St. Thomas Didymus
Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen: Three Stages
Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen: Green
The waiting is over: finally our own new work from Toivo Tulev. His libretto is an exploration of wonder, beginning with Walt Whitman's A child says, What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands. We reprise a chamber version of James Primosch's sensational Mass for the Day of St. Thomas Didymus from MoM 2014, and sing Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen's raucous and fantastic Three Stages, as we look forward to a new work he is composing for The Crossing's MoM 2016.
Join us for a pre-concert lecture with Doanld one hour prior to the performance.
