JOHN ADAMS 𝘌𝘭 𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘰
Hailed as “intelligent, emotional and sometimes magical” by the BBC, John Adams’s 𝘌𝘭 𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘰 imagines a modern-day miracle, retelling the story of Handel’s 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘩 through a constellation of references ranging from medieval chant to contemporary Latin American poetry. In conversation, President & CEO André Gremillet welcomes audiences to Severance Hall and asks Adams about his inspiration for this expressive, brilliant, and profoundly human oratorio for solo voices and orchestra.
