Missa Laudato Si' (World Premiere)
Ignatian Voices, University Chorale, University Singers with guests from The EcoVoice Project
Missa Laudato Si’ is a new work written by Dongryul Lee in the spirit of Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si’, which calls on humanity to urgently address the climate crisis. In the form of a Mass, Missa Laudato Si’ contemplates climate change and caring for the earth by intertwining the Latin Mass text with prayers, poems, and texts about contaminated soil and water, and all the threatened creatures living under the climate and plastic crises, including “the tragic effects of environmental degradation on the lives of the world’s poorest.”
The EcoVoice Project’s New Earth Ensemble joins forces with the combined Loyola University Choirs to present this new work as a culminating event of Loyola’s annual Climate Change Conference. A panel exploring the scope of the Laudato Si’ encyclical will be offered prior to the performance.
