James Whitbourn's powerful oratorio Annelies is the only musical setting based on the story of Anne Frankduring the Holocaust. Premiered to huge acclaim in 2005, Annelies has been praised for its "woundingly beautiful" music and an extraordinary libretto that captures Anne's keen observations and indomitable spirit. 
 
Under the direction of Dr. George Case, and featuring soprano soloist Rachele Schmiege, the 125-voice Newburyport Choral Society and NCS Orchestra will perform this dramatic oratorio to commemorate Anne Frank's spirit and her vision of hope as an inspiration to all of the world's oppressed people.  NCS will end the concert with Whitbourn's healing All Shall Be Amen and Alleluia, transcending the horrors of history and underscoring a belief in the power of the human spirit to triumph.
 
For tickets and information visit our site here.  Tickets can also be purchased in Newburyport at the Chamber of Commerce, Jabberwocky Bookshop, The Book Rack, and The Natural Grocer; in Ipswich at Conley's Drug Store; and in Amesbury at Starbird Jewelers.
