Join the Trinity Church Boston Choirs in collaboration with Berklee College of Music for “A Sacred Concert” by Duke Ellington. Scored for jazz big band, choir, and vocal soloists, the work combines elements of jazz, classical music, choral music, spirituals, gospel, blues and dance. According to the Boston Musical Intelligencer, 'Given the extensive resources it requires, the piece has remained a concert rarity since Ellington’s death in 1974.'
In the words of Ellington himself: “This music is the most important thing I’ve ever done or am ever likely to do.”
Free and open to all.
