“Gospel, Chant & Jazz Mass”

A World Premiere Commission Celebrating 10 Years of Song
Join us for a groundbreaking musical celebration as the Prescott Chorale proudly presents its first commissioned work – a vibrant and genre-defying Jazz Mass composed by Henry Flurry, Artistic Director of Arizona Philharmonic, with libretto by the acclaimed Anthony Silvestri.

This bold new composition marks a thrilling artistic milestone for the Chorale and offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience the world premiere of a major choral work. Infused with the soul of gospel, the mystery of chant, and the electricity of jazz, this is sacred music re-imagined in a fresh, innovative, and deeply moving musical composition. Expect dazzling solos, lush harmonies, and a dynamic jazz ensemble accompanying the Chorale in a performance that promises both spiritual resonance and musical surprise.

Also on the program is a luminous new short work by celebrated contemporary composer Elaine Hagenberg, known for her emotionally rich and accessible choral writing.

As we close Season 10 with this daring and joyful concert, we also look ahead—celebrating 10 years of Prescott Chorale and ushering in a new chapter of musical exploration and community connection.

Come be part of the beginning. Be part of the moment. Be part of the music.

Performing: The voices of the Prescott Chorale, and Jazz Ensemble.
