Variations on Democracy
Examining musical interpretations of democracy and the democratic process, “Variations on Democracy” is a free chamber concert of ideas for MAFB’s smaller groups with works by Louis Andriessen, Jennifer Jolley, Jorge Sosa Ortega, Carol Erion, Ethel Smyth, and more plus a world premiere by MAFB artistic director Lee Hartman. Grammy-winning soprano Sarah Tannehill Anderson joins as vocal soloist. A preconcert panel discussion of political scientists and artists takes place an hour before each performance.
