Tuesday, January 27, 2015 marks (exactly) the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. Arnold Schoenberg's rarely performed A Survivor from Warsaw is programmed within the WORLD-PREMIERE of noted composer James Bassi's Five Prayers. Commissioned by The Apollo Club, Five Prayers is a five-movement symphonic song cycle for male chorus, solo baritone, orchestra, and dancer. This concert is artistically conceived to begin and end liberatingly with the darkest moment in the center of the program, to symbolically represent the U-shaped Jewish menorah.
Artisans of Music
The Apollo Club elevates the consciousness of performance music by creating an authentic stage for amateurs and professionals alike. Since 1895, it is the signature icon of sacred and secular music in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, bringing together generations of voices who inspire audiences locally, nationally and internationally. As "artisans of music," the organization is dedicated to building craft, culture and camaraderie in the community.
