 On March 4th, the Harvard University Choir performed Jonathan Dove's church opera *Tobias and the Angel* at the Memorial Church. Dove's music (libretto by David Lan) combines an overt lyricism with a sensitivity to text declamation that makes his music instantly relatable. Inventive orchestration, subtle characterizations and dramatic chorus permeate this work, resulting in a vivid portrayal of the quirkier episodes in the Apocrypha. – Edward Elwyn Jones, Gund University Organist and Choirmaster.

 Featured soloists: Christopher Talbot, Susannah Thornton, Jonas Budris ’06, Benjamin Wenzelberg ’21, Nathan Reiff, Sol Kim Bentley, Ketti Jane Muschler, Fred Metzger ‘18, James Baskerville ’18, Sean Telford G1.
