Performance Santa Fe presents
Susan Graham and the music from Copeland House Ensemble
Description
A Standing Witness is a monumental collaboration between composer Richard Danielpour and author Rita Dove, created especially for the incomparable Susan Graham and the celebrated Music from Copland House ensemble. The soaring music and probing poetry of this epic cycle is a retrospective tracing enormous upheavals in the U.S. since the watershed year of 1968. Rapturously received in premiere performances at the Kennedy Center and elsewhere around the U.S., there is no more timely or provocative work for this pivotal moment in American history.
