Our season concludes with BlueWater Chamber Orchestra joining forces with our city’s premier Cleveland Chamber Choir. Margaret Bond’s Credo sets to music the profound text of W.E.B. DuBois, the pioneering sociologist, civil rights activist, and co-founder of the NAACP. Mozart’s great Mass in C minor captivates with its timeless elegance and intricate arrangements. The program features soprano Katherine Jolly in both works, an accomplished singer who has appeared on opera stages throughout the country and is the winner of the prestigious Metropolitan Opera National Council Grand Finals. Together, these works explore themes of belief, struggle, and the transcendent power of the human spirit.

Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, will present a pre-concert talk, 45 minutes prior to the performance.
