The Ravinia Festival production of Leonard Bernstein's "Mass"

is next.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

-This is...

my church.

This is where I go to ask questions

and to find healing

and to find common ground.

-I love walking around the grounds

when people are watching other concerts

and seeing their intensity --

intense listening,

intense back-and-forth between the artist

even if they're at the very, very back of the lawn.

There's something very personal here.

It feels like it's our essence and our core as artists,

is just in the trees.

This piece,the "Mass" by Leonard Bernstein,

is one of the most avant garde --

It's a piece filled with risk.

It's a piece that challenges us.

It's a piece that comes at us with arms wide open

and also says,

"I'm gonna make you think about the world you live in.

-We have a special responsibility to the arts,

for art is the great democrat

calling forth creative genius from every sector of society,

disregarding race or religion

or wealth or color.

-When Bernstein was asked by JFK's widow,

Jackie Kennedy Onassis,

to write a piece for the opening of the Kennedy Center,

he thought, "Okay, what is singular to JFK?

And fact that Kennedy

was the only Roman Catholic president

came up into his mind,

and he said, "Okay.

I'm gonna use the mass --

you know, really,

the iconic representation of Catholicism --

to hang all of these ideas on

and use it as a structure,

a framework, and a journey.

So, it's not really a mass, per se,

but he uses all the sections of the mass,

all the sort of implications of the offertory,

the communion, the confession --

uses all those in a way to tell his story.

-My father had always, of course, been a champion

of social justice, of peace.

He put all of that into "Mass."

Also, he was a man of faith.

He was very spiritual.

-It's about something complicated.

It's about a crisis of faith --

My father's crisis of faith,

but also, America's crisis of faith,

and it was, you know, the early 1970s.

We were still very much in the turbulence of the 1960s,

and this is what the piece was born out of.

-It was such a critical moment

in the history of the United States,

particularly because of the situation in Vietnam,

because of the transition

to Civil Rights and that whole movement.

It was a hot moment in our history.

-And the opening, of course, was nuts.

So much publicity and excitement.

-It's hard to convey how crazy the whole thing was.

You know, it was the opening of the Kennedy Center,

and it was in Washington, D.C.,

and all the dignitaries were there

and then the government brass,

and so the whole thing was already mega

and, you know, everybody was so gussied up,

and the building was opening, and the piece was premiering.

It was all very uncomfortable

and nervous making.

-"Mass," I think, is the ultimate

moralistic story for Bernstein.

This is the story

about tolerance, about questioning,

about belief, about love, about unity, about brotherhood.

about humankind.

I think it's one

of the most beautiful stories ever told,

and it feels more relevant today

than in 1971, when it was premiered,

and people really didn't know what to make of it.

-So, there's a part in "Mass,"

where they read from letters.

It's a normal part of the Catholic liturgy,

and Kevin Newbury, the director, came up with a fantastic idea,

in which, he invited members of the Street Chorus

to contribute their own letters

that speak to issues that we feel passionate about today

or that make us feel, in some way, in prison,

and so that lends this production

an extra quality of immediacythat, I think, is very powerful.

Dear Brothers: This is the gospel I preach;

and in its service

I have suffered hardship like a criminal;

yea, even unto imprisonment...

...but there is no imprisoning the word of God.

-Dearly beloved, we have people in power

who are using hate, fear, and lies

to separate us from each other

and from the ideals for which our country has come to stand.

As a person in a position of privilege and opportunity,

I now realize that we havethe power and, more importantly,

the responsibility to act as both a sword and a shield

for those persons facing oppression

from their own government.

[ Applause ]

-Dear friends and siblings,

I'd like to thank you collectively.

I feel like the luckiest person in the world

that you are the people closest to me.

This recovery is about more than just substances.

It's about acknowledging and removing the blocks that were

preventing me from growing.

I was never able to get this far on my own.

But I'm not alone anymore,

and I have faith that I can make it through the day.
