(This video highlights the Gospel of Matthew, but the general format applies to Mark as well!)
In Concert
The Mark: Gospel Collection album is conceived of as a folk-opera: a 75-minute experience of the Gospel of Mark that can be performed from start to finish in the space of an afternoon/evening concert. As with the Matthew: Gospel Collection album, a live release concert is in the works for February 2027.
While the Gospel of Mark release show hasn’t been scheduled or recorded/filmed yet, you can get a sense for what it will be by watching the release show from the first installment in the Gospel Collection, Matthew.
On January 18, 2026, (almost) all of the musicians who contributed to the Matthew album recordings gathered to perform the music in concert. The experience of hearing/performing the whole collection live—from start to finish, in one sitting—was moving for audience members and performers alike.
