Songs of Life is pleased to announce the addition of the Boston Modern Orchestra Project to the featured performance of the World Premiere oratorio, A Melancholy Beauty!

A Melancholy Beauty is a major choral-orchestral oratorio that brings 300 superb choristers and instrumentalists to the stage in an unparalleled music celebration which combines classical choral-orchestral music with traditional rhythms and folk styles that are rarely encountered today. This song of life will unravel the true story of the Rescue of all Bulgaria's Jews during WWII. This coming together of musicians, from the US, Israel, and Bulgaria, the very countries that were impacted by these crucial events, will redefine freedom and harmony through the power of music.
