Special Free Event – May 16, 2007
The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) presents
bluegrass quintet Monroe Crossing alongside the CCM Chorale to perform the regional premiere of Carol Barnett’s “The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass” Guest conductor Dale Warland takes the podium for this event, which takes place Wednesday, May 16, at 8 p.m. in CCM’s Corbett Auditorium. Admission is free and open to the public.
According to visiting composer Barnett, “The World Beloved” melds “the solemnity of the classical choir-based mass with the down-home sparkle of bluegrass.” The piece received its world premiere in January 2007 to critical acclaim; said the Minneapolis Star-Tribune “The contrasts between the sophisticated classical choral sound and the jubilant bluegrass harmonies were effectively used to make the text come alive.”
Held at the Corbett Auditorium
University of Cincinnati College – Conservatory of Music
