Vespers for Cello

Missy Mazzoli

Description

"Vespers by Missy Mazzoli is a modern-day take on the traditional Vespers prayer service, in which poems by Matthew Zapruder replace the customary sacred text. It is meant to ask—What haunts us in this “new dark age”? What role does ritual play in our lives? Is there room for the supernatural in an increasingly technological world?"
