Songs of Protest and Resistance - Mahlerfest

Songs of Protest and Resistance - Mahlerfest In-Person

From the battle cry of “La Marseillaise” in the French Revolution to the unforgettable strains of “We Shall Overcome” in the Civil Rights era, when we raise our voices in the most important protests, we do so in song. From Mahler’s damning indictments of the futility of war and insanity of monarchy to Shostakovich’s profane denunciation of Stalin in his 14th Symphony, our assembled team of world-class singers presents an afternoon of song like no other.
