Virtual Concert: INJUSTICE

Apr 3, 2022 - 12:00 pm

The program Injustice showcases Aleppo, a recent work by Portuguese composer Luis Tinoco inspired by the resilience of that city’s besieged inhabitants. We’ll also perform Three Dream Portraits, Black composer Margaret Bonds’ setting of moving poems by Langston Hughes; Kurt Weill songs of biting anti-Nazi satire and anti-apartheid protest; and intimate chamber works by Hans Krása and Erwin Schulhoff.

MOR’s stellar instrumental ensemble, drawn from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, features violinists Mikhail Shmidt and Artur Girsky, violist Susan Gulkis Assadi, cellist Walter Gray, clarinetist Laura DeLuca and pianists Mina Miller and Jessica Choe. The program will also feature mezzo sopranos Sarah Larsen and Cheryse McLeod Lewis.
