Gloria Musicae Presents "Musical Conversation: A Panel Discussion"
On April 28, the 2014 International Day of Holocaust
Remembrance, Gloria Musicae will present “Voices of the Holocaust,” a multimedia
event celebrating the triumph of the spirit and featuring the Florida premiere
of a dramatic cantata based on 22 songs sung and composed in ghettoes and
concentration camps during World War II. To kick off this monumental event, which
also features original chorography and the participation of more than six
choral groups, Gloria Musicae is presenting "Musical Conversation," a
free panel discussion with some of the artists behind “Voices of the
Holocaust.” The panel includes composer Sheridan Seyfried; Seyfried’s former mentor and composer, James
Grant; choreographer Elizabeth
Weil Bergmann; and Dr. Joseph
Holt, artistic director of Gloria
Musicae. The panel discussion, followed by a reception, is Friday, April 25,
4-6 p.m., at the Sarasota Herald Tribune, 1741 Main Street, Sarasota. The event
is free with limited seating on a first-come basis.
