Doreen Rao's newly adapted and edited concert version of Bernstein's epic theatre piece brings us this monumental music in a shortened and manageable edition for chorus, soloists and chamber orchestra. Rao has maintained the integrity of the Mass form and the dramatic tension between faith and doubt through a 40-minute adaptation of a work that celebrates diversity, inclusion and Bernstein's passion for peace.
