THE BOTTOM OF THE NIGHT

Nov 1, 2017 The Bottom of the Night LARGE POSTER FOR CARNEGIE.jpg

 

"Follow, poet, follow right

To the bottom of the night,

With your unconstraining voice

Still persuade us to rejoice."

~W.H. Auden, In Memory of W.B. Yeats

 

This concert turns to our poets, artists and composers for guidance in the journey from grief and tears to a defiant rejoicing.  It looks at sorrow directly, and then refuses to let bitterness have the last word.  This music opens itself in vulnerability and commits to living life in its fullness.
