    Houston Cecilia, in collaboration with VOX and the HSPVA Treble Singers, presents what's sure to be a musical highlight of the spring season: Leonard Bernstein's MASS, A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players, and Dancers by Leonard Bernstein, performed in its entirety for the first time in Houston!  Saturday, May 5th, 2012 at 7:30pm and Sunday, May 6th, 2012 at 7:30pm, at St. Philip Presbyterian Church, 4807 San Felipe Houston, TX 77056.

    Bernstein's powerful magnum opus, composed in 1971, is a stunning meditation on faith, the nature of God, and the way we think about community and spirituality. Part modernistic setting of the ancient Latin Mass text, part rock opera, part crisis-of-faith drama, scored for three choruses, orchestra and rock band, it truly has to be seen to be believed! Don't miss it!

    Cast of Characters

    • The Celebrant – a Catholic priest who conducts the celebration of the Mass.
    • Formal Choir – A mixed choir who sing the Latin portions of the Mass.
    • Children's Choir – A treble choir that performs alone, in antiphon, or in concert with the Formal Choir and the Street Singers.
    • Street Singers A broad group of female and male singers representing the congregation who variously participate in the prayers of the Mass, or alternately counter those prayers in a modern context.
