Citizen: An American Lyric Performance
Friday, November 9 - Fri , November 16
7:30 PM
The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, Kogod Theatre
Cost: Student/Youth: $10 or FREE
See: https://go.umd.edu/Ufj
Everyday racism can come on slyly - a hasty glance or too-casual comment. Sometimes from a friend. Or a coworker. Other pointed or veiled aggressions play out in the classroom, on the street, on the national stage, in the media, at home - all the time. The cost of micro and macro aggression thrown against a white wall of racism is played out individually as Black Americans, and cannot be ignored. Adapted from Claudia Rankine's acclaimed book of poetry, this searingly provocative meditation on race in America is not a play. It's a fast-moving, fluid theater at the speed of thought.

Opera meets Broadway. Classical meets jazz. Old World meets New World. Operatically trained mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey and jazz pianist Baptiste Trotignon shorten the distance between these contrasting styles in this "artistic triumph" (Europadisc) anchored by the music of Kurt Weill. Bringing listeners to the very beginnings of jazz with deft improvisations and bold arrangements, Thousands of Miles pays homage to composers who, like Weill, were forced to flee their homelands: Alma Mahler, Alexander von Zemlinsky and Erich Wolfgang Korngold. This tribute traverses through three European languages all woven together by stories of intense longing and homesickness.
