My Name is Moses: A Song Cycle
Composed by Robert Nath Conducted by Jeffrey Dokken Orchestrated by Cantor Jonathan Comisar
You know the story, now learn about the man.
Experience the Humanity Behind the Legend
In this powerful new song cycle, composer and lyricist Robert Nath shines new light on Moses—not just as a prophet or icon, but as a man, husband, father, and leader. Through his relationships with God, his brother Aaron, his wife Tzipporah, and Pharaoh Ramses II, we rediscover this deeply human figure whose emotional struggles and triumphs resonate far beyond religious boundaries.
Mr. Nath’s lyrical, expressive music is enriched by renowned Cantor Jonathan Comisar’s exquisite orchestrations for chamber orchestra, and it is performed by some of DC’s finest musicians. Together with our singers, they bring fresh emotional depth to this timeless story.
Starring Helen Hayes Award winner Alan Naylor in the title role, alongside the evocative Jacquelynne Fontaine Isaac and the commanding Larry Boggs, this is a performance not to be missed.
Maestro Jeffrey Dokken conducts and will lead a post-concert conversation with the composer, offering unique insight into the creative process behind
this moving work.
Two chances to experience this glorious new work.
