The Drop That Contained the Sea — Boston Premiere with the Boston Festival Orchestra

July 11, 2026 at 7:30 pm
Jordan Hall
A single drop of water. Ten languages. One resounding message — performed live at Jordan Hall this July.

Water connects us all. From the first raindrop to the open ocean, it flows through every culture, every language, every human story — and now, through music.

Join us for the Boston premiere of The Drop That Contained the Sea, the stunning choral-orchestral masterwork by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin. Following a single drop of water through the global water cycle, this breathtaking evening-length work weaves together ten languages, the voices of 100 singers, and 7 vocal soloists in a celebration of our shared humanity and the beauty that unites us across the world.

The evening opens with Paul Bateman’s arrangement of America the Beautiful — a fitting tribute to America250 and a reflection on the American spirit that echoes Tin’s universal message of strength and unity.

Don’t miss this extraordinary night of music that reminds us: no matter where we come from, we are all part of the same story.
