Freeing the Caged Bird

At the heart of the event is the premiere performance of Dr. Harbach’s Freeing the Caged Bird, a woodwind quintet commissioned by the Equinox Chamber Players. Dr. Harbach discusses intricacies of her music inspired by these writers and as the music unfolds, Dr. Nigro delivers a power point presentation highlighting the historical influences of these outstanding literary artists. Opening the program is Harbach’s new arrangement of Lilia’s Polka, written by Kate Chopin for her daughter Lilia. The premiere is set for March 4th, 2007 at the Ethical Society of St. Louis, with eleven educational outreach events surrounding the premiere. Click here to view art work and read more details!
