Last night’s program “Rebellion’s Quiet Voice” with fabulous poet Carolyn Forché was a stirring and moving success, and featured the Shostakovich 8th, 3rd, and 2nd quartets with poetry by Carolyn – including selections from her “Against Forgetting: 20th Century Poetry of Witness” and selections from George Trakl, Wislawa Szymborska, and Iona Caraion. Due to the weather, it was a harrowing night, but we’ll live to do it again and a few more programs during the weeks ahead!
