Oregon Bach Festival | Snider: Mass for the Endangered
$25-$45 ($5 youth/college student with ID)
- Craig Hella Johnson, conductor
Called "a prayer for wildlife and their imperiled environments" by the composer and "powerful and delicate" by BBC Music Magazine, this re-imagined mass is a hymn for the voiceless and the discounted – a requiem for the not-yet-gone.
Conductor and OBF artistic partner designate Craig Hella Johnson offers a pre-concert lecture to enhance your listening experience. 1:30pm in Frohnmayer Music Building, Room 163. More information: https://calendar.uoregon.edu/event/lets_talk_mass_for_the_endangered
About Oregon Bach Festival Chorus
When Royce Saltzman and Helmuth Rilling founded the "Summer Festival of Music" in 1971, one of their first programming choices was Bach's St. John Passion. Knowing they'd need a chorus, Saltzman and Rilling set out to find the most talented voices in the community. Over the course of five decades, the Festival Chorus grew and evolved into the pinnacle of choral music performance. In 2001, Rilling and the OBF Chorus received the Grammy Award for their recording of Krzysztof Penderecki's Credo—a piece of epic size and sound that will hold its 25th anniversary celebratory performance during the 2023 Festival. The current chorus, led by Kathy Saltzman Romey, ranges from 15 to 54 musicians and features top-tier vocalists from prominent choruses and all four corners of the country.
