Leonard Bernstein’s Mass is a theatrical exploration of the affirmation of faith and devotion, and the forces in contemporary life that challenge that belief. Music inspired by Beethoven and Mahler sit side-by-side with rock, blues, pop and Broadway styles. Mass combines all the elements of human expression: song, dance, visual art, spoken word. Mass is the articulation of Bernstein’s call “to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.” Stage Director Sandra Bengochea and Music Director Fred Cohen lead with over 200 musicians and dancers from the School and the Vivace Youth Chorus in Bernstein’s master- piece.
