Saturday, Oct. 20 · 2 pm · Plestcheeff Auditorium, Seattle Art Museum
FREE concert-with-commentary. On October 10th, Seattle Art Museum launched Elles, a landmark exhibition organized by the Centre Pompidou in Paris that explores how pioneering women artists have helped shape the major movements of modern and contemporary art. MOR's musical program features Letter to Warsaw, a musical portrait of one woman's intimate first-hand account of life in the grip of the Holocaust. American composer Thomas Pasatieri's powerful song cycle sets six texts that poet/cabaret artist Pola Braun wrote while in the Warsaw ghetto and in the Majdanek concentration camp. It opens a window to the emotional life of all women trapped in the web of Holocaust tragedy, and tells a story reminding us that each victim of the Holocaust was an individual, not a statistic. Music sample here.
