The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass

The internationally acclaimed VocalEssence Ensemble Singers and bluegrass sensation Monroe Crossing will perform Carol Barnett’s The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass for Chorus America Conference attendees — in a concert which is open to the public. The concert will also feature Dominick Argento’s Walden Pond and the world premiere of a new work by Paul Rudoi, commissioned through the VocalEssence Essentially Choral program with funding from the Jerome Foundation. Jorge Cózatl, from Mexico City, (a VocalEssence ¡Cantaré! composer) will also be featured with his Mayan-based composition, Xtoles.

PLEASE NOTE: CHANGE OF VENUE

This concert will take place at CENTRAL LUTHERAN CHURCH in Minneapolis, a change of venue from the 11-12 VocalEssence Season Brochure.

Also, please be aware that due to public events in the Minneapolis Convention Center across the street from Central Lutheran Church, the parking lot and ramp may charge event parking rates during VocalEssence concerts.
