Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider's Mass for the Endangered sets original text by writer, visual artist, and musician Nathaniel Bellows alongside the traditional Latin Mass — a six-movement prayer for the animals and ecosystems at risk from human activity. Written for choir and chamber orchestra, the piece does not despair; it pleads, with clarity and grief and beauty, for parity and protection. Performed beneath Gaia, its message could not feel more at home. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to support Last Hope Animal Shelter in Wantagh.The SettingBuilt in 1885, the Cathedral of the Incarnation is the historic cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island.
