This horrific incident joins Pittsburgh, Quebec, and Charlottesville in a seemingly endless list of extremist brutality in places of worship. The sad truth is that our world has long been fragmented by faith-based struggle. Countless wars have been fought over religious dominance and perceived privilege. People have been forced to accept a conquering society’s belief system—or be killed. Religion justifying violence is a dreadful contradiction. Is peaceful faith-diversity possible? Considering how I wanted to direct Mass, first produced in 1971, I reflected on how much has changed in our society since then. The internet has opened us up to the immediacy of information. Social media has enabled us to share images in real time. Today, we have become our own “news reporters,” and with that comes consequences. We must sort fact from fiction amidst the daily deluge of information. What is true? What is twisted? What do we ultimately believe? I want this production to allow us to fully and safely ask questions: “What do I believe in and stand for? What offends me, and what would I tolerate?” Most of us think we know those answers, but when confronted with conflict, questions, or force, in what would we intervene? To bring these questions into our 2019 context, I shaped this production with the addition of a multifaith component. Rather than view this as a mass in the traditional sense of the word, consider it a religious gathering. Let’s ask ourselves, “In a world of immediate global information and interconnection, how do we allow space for a variety of viewpoints and faiths to coexist? What does living in harmonious diversity really mean?” Let these questions be the guide for this experience as you watch Mass—a search for faith in a chaotic world. Program Notes by Bret McCandless Ph.D. Musicology Candidate Leonard Bernstein made his mark as a conductor, composer, educator, and celebrity, and it is difficult to honor him in all of those areas for his centenary through a single performance. Mass might be the most appropriate way to honor and remember Bernstein as a musician who tried to do it all: with its musical eclecticism, political undertones, commissioning for a major American cultural event, and overall immensity, perhaps a performance
