Passover and Good Friday
Two of the world's major religions are in the midst of major holidays today, the Jewish Passover and the Christian Good Friday. In observance of Passover, Sergei Prokofiev's "Overture on Hebrew Themes" from Music@Menlo. And in observance of Good Friday, we'll go to a performance of Handel's "Messiah" in Berlin. Plus, our weekly 21st century work is a world premiere from Down Under.
