The performance of the Harlem Renaissancecomposer Nathaniel Dett’s (1882-1943) masterpiece oratorio The Ordering of Moses, was cut short during a radio broadcast in 1937.

The Ordering of Moses will be presented for one night only, the weekend of Juneteenth, on Thursday, June 17th at 7:30 PM at The Riverside Church, 490 Riverside Drive in Harlem, NY.

Produced by Ms. Player and brought back to its original splendor, this epic performance includes a 60-piece orchestra from The Harlem Chamber Players, a 75-member choir composed of members from Chorale Le Chateau, and five Metropolitan Opera soloists.

The production is helmed by the conductor, music director and multifaceted artist Damien Sneed and is hosted by WQXR personality Terrance McKnight. The Ordering of Moses is part of the Harlem Renaissance Centennial.
