A Jazz opera - "The Christmas story told in thoroughly American musical terms". It features opera and jazz artists of note weaving together word, dance, song and musical instruments to tell the story in a new way, composed and arranged by Anne Phillips.

Bending Toward The Light originated in 1985 as a Christmas benefit for St. Peter's Lutheran Church in NYC. That performance featured Dave Brubeck, Clark Terry, Gene Bertoncini and Tommy Flanegan. It has been presented at Birdland and Lincoln Center. As it did that first night, music director Bob Kindred's haunting "Silent Night" creates the opening mood in the darkened church.
