« Every year, Soundstreams Electric Messiah has taken a traditional holiday classic and turned it into inspiration for a new age. Music director and sound designer Adam Scime assembles a cast of collaborators to create something new out of something venerable.
This year’s Electric Messiah takes place December 14 to 17. Along with Scime’s contribution as musical director and sound designer, the production features: stage direction by Chelsea Dab Hilke; Midori Marsh, soprano; Rebecca Cuddy mezzo-soprano; Elizabeth Shepherd, vocals; Daniel Cabena, counter-tenor; and Korin Thomas-Smith, baritone. The instrumental ensemble includes: Amahl Arulanandam, electric cello; Wesley Shen, harpsichord; Luan Phung, electric/acoustic guitar; and Joel Visentin, electric organ.
We spoke to Adam about Electric Messiah and new music.
