Award-winning American composer Delvyn Case conducts the Deus Ex Musica Ensemble in a live performance of his dramatic new solo cantata based on Genesis 22. Daring to imagine alternative ending to this infamous story, this 25-minute piece explores the complex theological, narrative, and interpretive challenges of this infamous passage by highlighting how the thread of sacrificial violence tragically binds together Elohim, Abraham, Isaac, and Elohim – and, through its historical legacy – all of us as well. Sponsored by the Boston College Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, the performance will be followed by a panel discussion featuring an interfaith collection of scholars and clergy.
6:00-7:30pm on Saturday, November 22nd at Old South Church (645 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116)
