ABYSSINIAN: A GOSPEL CELEBRATION

Featuring JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA
With WYNTON MARSALIS and CHORALE LE CHATEAU
Conducted by DAMIEN SNEED

Jazz legend Wynton Marsalis makes a joyful noise with his world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the 70-voice gospel choir Chorale Le Chateau, performing Marsalis’s roof-raising Abyssinian Mass, a spectacular celebration of the 200th anniversary of Harlem’s legendary Abyssinian Baptist Church. “What a joyful noise they made, as soloists and en masse …[their] ecstatic reading of the Mass elevated Marsalis’s riffs to the high heavens.” - The Guardian, UK
