Three Bay Area composers explore issues of belonging, displacement, and new beginnings in memory of the Holocaust
Tres Minutos composed by Nicolas Benavides, with libretto by Marella Martin Koch
World premiere! This one-act opera tells the story of Nila and Diego, a brother and sister who share family bonds but not citizenship. Allowed a brief supervised reunion at the US-Mexico border that separates them, they wrestle with questions of identity, duty and belonging.
Veritas composed by Shinji Eshima
California premiere! A soulful plea against religious intolerance of all kinds. Eshima's profound musical meditation combines with Kate Duhamel's video imagery of striking sculptures by Al Farrow to make a powerful statement for today's world.
Stormy Seas composed by Sahba Aminikia
California premiere! Five true stories of young people who braved hazardous waters in search of safe harbors and new lives: from Nazi Germany, communist Cuba, war-torn Vietnam, Taliban-dominated Afghanistan, and an orphanage in Ivory Coast. The work is a testament to hope and courage, an appeal to our shared humanity.
