VOICES Multicultural Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Baruch Whitehead and Lorrene Adams, is pleased to present the Premiere of the world's first Islamic Oratorio, a work for Western and Middle Eastern Instruments, Chorus and Soloists, about the life of the prophet Moses based on stories from the Qur'an.

Leave with a sense that these great stories of the past hold truths and teachings relevant today and provide insight into peace within ourselves, our communities and across nations.
