Left Coast Chamber Ensemble: A Soldier’s Tale & Steam at the Ruth Williams Opera House
Advertisement
Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale, written and performed during the 1918 flu epidemic, is a satirical examination of the pursuit of happiness. We pair this iconic tale with a new work for the same jazz-inspired forces, in which Arna Bontemps’ novel Black Thunder clashes with contemporary social crises. Omari Tau brings his theatrical brilliance to both works.
