The second half of the concert will feature the dramatized world premiere of The Gospel According to St. Matthew by San Francisco composer Mark Alburger written for soloists, chorus and chamber orchestra. Also on the program is Amahl and the Night Visitors, an opera written in 1951 by Gian-Carlo Menotti. The opera tells the story of the visit of the Magi to the house of Amahl and his mother as they seek a place to rest on their journey to Bethlehem. The opera was written for children.
