Voices of Remembrance and Resilience

Interspersed with movements from some of the most compelling works reflecting the darkness of wartime, this program amplifies the voices of resilient women — from underground poets in modern-day Afghanistan, set to song by Juhi Bansal, to survivors of WWII’s Kindertransport, in a song cycle by Lori Laitman. A Chiarina commission and premiere by DC native Jeffrey Mumford offers a visceral reflection on light in this journey of a program that features an all-star cast of returning Chiarina guest artists.
