SUMMARY:Francis: An Oratorio in Nine Scenes
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]WORLD PREMIERE\nInspired by the life of St. Francis of Assisi\, marking the 800th anniversary of his death. \nRichard Danielpour\, composer\nSr. Margaret Carney\, librettist\nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nClaudia Christian\, narrator (Angel)\nEdward Nelson\, baritone (Francis)\nAnna Schubert\, soprano (St. Clare)\nBuffalo Philharmonic Chorus\nFredonia Chamber Choir\nVernon Huff\, chorus director \nExperience a major world premiere as the BPO brings Richard Danielpour’s Francis: An Oratorio in Nine Scenes to life — an expansive new work inspired by St. Francis of Assisi and marking the 800th anniversary of his death. Through orchestra\, chorus\, soloists\, and narration\, the oratorio explores compassion\, transformation\, care for creation\, and the search for meaning in a divided world. \nConducted by JoAnn Falletta\, with a libretto by Sr. Margaret Carney and narration by Claudia Christian\, Francis brings together powerful musical and dramatic forces for a story that feels both ancient and urgently present. \nSweeping in sound and intimate in reflection\, this world premiere invites us to consider what it means to live with purpose\, empathy\, and connection in our own time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
