About this event
German composer Paul Hindemith’s Symphony Mathis der Maler shares this program with Michael Tippett’s A Child of Our Time, written in response to events surrounding the November 1938 anti-Jewish pogroms known as Kristallnacht. Both works consider the role of art amid persecution and political pressure.
The New York Choral Society and Mannes Orchestra perform with soloists Laquita Mitchell, Margaret Lattimore, William Burden and Stephen Powell. Tippett’s choral work incorporates spirituals including Steal Away and Deep River; Hindemith’s symphony draws on an opera that brought him into conflict with the Nazi regime.
Tickets range from $40 to $125. Full-price $125 tickets include an invitation to NYCHORAL’s post-concert reception.
