Leonard Bernstein's Kadish Symphony this evening on PBS

Recorded in July 2022, Bernstein protege Marin Alsop conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Bernstein's "Kaddish" Symphony at the Ravinia Festival. Creating a musical meditation wherein women's voices are the tether to the highest powers, and examining the essential, eternal questions of humanity and faith, also featured are soprano Janai Brugger and Jaye Ladymore as narrator, along with the Chicago Children's Choir.

I don't know the first thing about it. Could be atonally.

Many years ago, at the NYC Lincoln Center we attended his Mass.... creation, for lack of a better word, and did not enjoy it all.

But will give the Kadish at least a try.

Check local listings.
