About this Event
This year’s Cornerstone Concert is MASS IN BLUE, Will Todd’s blues-jazz fusion setting of the Latin Mass. Paired with that is acclaimed American composer Andre Thomas’ MASS: A CELEBRATION OF LOVE AND JOY. Presented in collaboration with the University at Buffalo School of Music, this concert will pair a UB Faculty Jazz ensemble with the Chorus at the impeccable Lippes Concert Hall at Slee Hall. These twenty-first century mass settings are musical explorations of the familiar mass texts that have graced countless choral-orchestral masterpieces, paired here in extraordinary settings, infusing blues and jazz rhythms, as well as influence from the African-American gospel tradition. Together, these two works offer our audiences a Cornerstone Concert unlike anything the BPC has presented before.
