RESILIENCE: Music for Troubled Times
October 8-11

Amanda Powell, soprano
 
London, 1665: A year-long plague held the city in its grip, but haunting folk ballads and laments of Dowland and Purcell wafted from the windows of empty streets. Two centuries later, outbreaks of cholera and dysentery could not prevent Americans from raising their voices in joyous harmony at the end of the Civil War. In this new program from Jeannette Sorrell, nine musicians conjure up these two historic pandemics through music, diaries and poems as we celebrate the resilience of the human spirit. WE SHALL OVERCOME.
