Atonement

Renowned writer and composer Elizabeth Swados’ brand new work is a deeply moving theatrical oratorio combining liturgical elements of the Yom Kippur service with poetry and writings from World War I, the Holocaust, Vietnam, Indonesia, Africa and Central America. Atonement deals with the ways that our society can redeem itself and renew our spirits to do what is right in the world. It travels from darkness to celebration through stunning music and song. Atonement is presented in cooperation with the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
