The 175 voices of The Cecilia Chorus of New York, led by Music Director Mark Shapiro, present three works: two from the 21st century and one from the 18th, performed with orchestra, vocal and instrumental soloists, and guest youth choruses. Through evocative texts and music, the program responds to today’s hunger for justice and peace with an uplifting vision of inspiration and compassion.
