Gospel at Colonus at Concert Hall: A student production of the oratorio The Gospel at Colonus opened last night and runs until Saturday at the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall under the direction of Jeri Brown. Seen above, the cast in rehearsal; Jenny Larivière is at the mike.

The Gospel at Colonus is an oratorio set in a black Pentecostal service, in which Greek myth replaces the Bible story. It’s an exuberant mix of American gospel, jazz, rock and popular music.
