How are we to treat this planet and the variety of life? How are we to treat each other? How will we meet the challenges our modern way of life poses to our species and the ecosystem in which we thrive? In its June concerts, EarthRise, WomenSing will contemplate these questions by turning to a variety of musical works that celebrate the richness of life and culture here on Earth, as well as the fragility of it all. We turn to the wisdom of Stella Splendens, a 14th-century Catalonian chant found in one of the oldest extant medieval musical manuscripts. We listen to the tale of a refugee told by the influential medieval Persian poet, Hafez, in From Behind the Caravan, set to music by Abbie Betinis. We cherish the creativity of Sudanese women who weave baskets as a means of survival (Famine Song, by Moira Smiley). We pursue prophet Isaiah's nonviolent utopia, described in Hebrew, Arabic, and English in And they shall not learn war anymore by Sara Shoham. We imagine as well a post-nuclear future where survivors are involved in ritual games reenacting Earth's culture in order to preserve the shards of civilization in Panda Chant II, by Meredith Monk.
Join us in a glorious ode to our planet! "Earth has no sorrow that earth cannot heal." -John Muir
