Manhattan Concert Productions invites you to an evening of exuberant music-making on April 3, 8:00 PM!

Pearl Shangkuan will lead the Masterwork Festival Chorus and New York City Chamber Orchestra in an exciting performance of Dan Forrest’s Jubilate Deo. Premiered in 2016, Jubilate Deo explores the message behind the text of Psalm 100–“O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands.” Each movement utilizes different languages–from Arabic to Hebrew, Zulu to Mandarin–to embody overarching human expressions of joy. The movements build into a cascading, raucous finale, set with several of the languages intertwining alongside English text. It is a global celebration of joy you don’t want to miss.

Alongside Jubliate Deo, Clif Dodson will conduct the A.C. Reynolds Symphonic Band in a program of eclectic and masterful selections. Works will include Samuel Hazo’s Arabesque and John Mackey’s Frozen Cathedral, among others.
