Co-created by Jennifer Stager and Michael Hersch, The Roaring Tides: Greek Tragedy in Image and Sound is the second concert-event in a three-part series of cross-disciplinary events that interleave art and music to bring people together through the concert hall, the lectern, the screen, and the page. Staging a dialogue between past and present, the programs frame interdisciplinary exploration of art and music through the lens of Greek tragedy, both because this genre historically incorporated music, visual art, and performance, and because tragedy’s exploration of the human condition has inspired so much subsequent creative work. Free and open to the public, the programming brings art and music together into fresh paradigms, constructing cohesive wholes where the uncertainties of our own present moment collide with our shared past.
