The choirs of The Redeemer are joined by Grammy nominated artists soprano Arianna Zukerman (shown) and The Lincoln Trio for the Philadelphia premiere of James Whitbourn’s “Annelies,” the first choral setting of The Diary of Anne Frank, on Saturday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m. and The Lincoln Trio for the Philadelphia premiere of James Whitbourn’s “Annelies,” the first choral setting of The Diary of Anne Frank. Dr. Michael Diorio will conduct this exceptional musical presentation; a story of hope, faith and perseverance. Speaking about “Annelies” composer James Whitbourn says: “Rarely have I found a text so compelling and the inspiration for so much thought, simply as a document in its own right. It was to be a commemorative work, not only for Anne Frank, but for those by whose side she lived, those she watched with penetrating eyes, and those voiceless millions who shared her fate. In the end, though, it is the text itself that is of such strength that it finds a way to leave the indelible mark of that young girl whose wisdom and perception can teach us all.” This production is in cooperation with Main Line Reform Congregation and its Rabbi, David Straus, who will give a pre-concert talk. Church of the Redeemer is honored to present this significant musical offering in this important year of remembrance. Church of the Redeemer is located at the corner of Pennswood and New Gulph Roads in Bryn Mawr, PA. There is parking available. Tickets will be sold at the door: $25/regular admission, $15/students, children under 12 free. Visit www.theredeemer.org/special_music for details.
