Musica Sacra presents Jewish choral repertoire that juxtaposes the sacred and secular, the ancient and contemporary, the traditional and innovative. The concert will feature Paths of Stone and Water, a world premiere written for Musica Sacra by Osnat Netzer, Israeli composer and pianist. The concert also includes Aaron Copland's In the Beginning, which sets the Genesis creation story, music by Noam Elkies, Yiddish choral music from the early 20th century, and other selections from the Jewish diaspora.
