A Postmodern Christmas

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.
