Live Concert- What Manner of Man is This? an oratorio

Soprano Mari-Yan Pringle, mezzo-soprano Krysty Swann, tenor Limmie Pulliam, bass-baritone Samson Setu, and members of the Brooklyn Ecumenical Choir and The Concert Chorale join forces for a performance of part I of the exciting new oratorio What Manner of Man is This? composed and conducted by Courtney Carey. Using African-American spirituals as its libretto, the new oratorio highlights the five major milestones in the New Testament narrative of the life of Jesus- his Baptism, Transfiguration, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension. The spirituals used in the oratorio have been stripped bare and reimagined using 19th-century bel canto and verismo compositional techniques. Part I focuses on the dramatic circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.
