[NEohioPAL] I Believe! Knitted Voices of Faith and Justice

[Kira McGirr]

The season concludes for the Cleveland Chamber Choir and BlueWater Chamber
Orchestra May 17, 2025 at 7:30pm at Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland, with the
two organizations joining forces for "I Believe! Knitted Voices of Faith
and Justice."

Mozart’s *Great Mass in C Minor* captivates with its classical elegance. It
is paired with Margaret Bonds’ *Credo*, which sets text by W.E.B. DuBois,
the pioneering sociologist, civil rights activist, and co-founder of the
NAACP.

Both works feature soprano Katherine Jolly, who has appeared on opera and
concert stages throughout the country and is the winner of the prestigious
Metropolitan Opera National Council Grand Finals. She is joined by bass
Jelani Watkins, well-known to Cleveland audiences as a core member of the
choir.

Influenced by themes from *Credo*, and following the choir's collaboration
in December, the choir has named the music program at the Cleveland School
of the Arts as their charitable partner.

Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 7:30pm, at Trinity Cathedral, 2230 Euclid Ave.,
Cleveland

Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, will
present a pre-concert talk, 45 minutes prior to the performance.
