Bernstein's Mass performed by Wright State University and the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra

The most complex and controversial work of composer Leonard Bernstein, Bernstein's Mass will be performed at the Schuster Center May 13 and 14, at 8 p.m. both evenings. The production involves nearly 200 performers from Wright State University and the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. The piece uses the structure of a Catholic Mass to tell the story of a personal spiritual journey. However, it's rarely performed in its entirety due to its massive scope. The show features a chorus of 60 singers, 19 actors in a "street chorus," 10 dancers and a 19-member children's choir. Musicians include a 90-piece orchestra, a five-piece rock band and a three-piece blues band.
