ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Nathaniel Dett’s 1930’s choral oratorio THE ORDERING OF MOSES weaves together classic spirituals into a musical feast that helped ignite America’s civil rights movement. Now IN Series and Heritage Signature Chorale join forces in a first ever staging of this epic masterpiece, in which music and theater, chorus and soloists, surround and immerse audiences in an embodied spiritual and artistic experience – collaborating with DC musicians, dancers, and visual artists, and a cast of nationally recognized vocalists. Inspired by the much acclaimed 2019 L’Enfance du Christ, here a sacred space is transformed with the paintings of Richshaad Ryan into a sanctuary of melody and meaning.
