Rite for All Souls is performed at the Old West Church.

October 31, 1971

A so-called “aural theater” work, A Rite for All Souls is performed by four members of the Mark Harvey Group, an experimental jazz group made up of students from Boston University. Wearing monks robes, the musicians roam the state playing European, Asian, and African brass instruments and woodwinds and recite poems to protest the Vietnam War and domestic injustices.
