“Though every moment of The Gospel According to the Other Mary was the John Adams I’ve known for decades, the piece sounded like none other.” —David Patrick Stearns, WQXR

Check out these great photos from the extraordinary and sold-out event, which featured the conductor Gustavo Dudamel, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Kelley O’Connor, Tamara Mumford, Russell Thomas and staging from Peter Sellars.
