The program begins at the dawn of the Renaissance, with selections of the Worcester Fragments.

The program culminates with music from the Golden Age of the Spanish Renaissance: selections from Francisco de Peñalosa's Missa 'L'homme arme and Sancta Maria, Pedro de Escobar's Stabat mater dolorosa, Francisco Guerrero's Antes que comáis a Dios, and Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla's Stabat mater dolorosa.

As we're ready to draw the curtain on a busy 2018, it's time to look back on my eclectic year of theatre in a (consciously unmethodical) collection of highlights.

Years after surviving the Holocaust, Primo Levi (Marco Gambino) is a haunted man who segregates himself in his study to try to come to terms with the terrible events he witnessed. He writes stories to understand them better, conjuring the prophet Elijah (Alex Marchi) to guide him through his recollections. The biblical figure, however, unearths the darker buried memories that prey Levi's persistent nightmares, making them become real once again.

Playwright Geoffrey Williams pens a new play about the aftermath of the Holocaust in Primo Levi's life. We sat down to discuss the author and what it means to carry the weight of survival.

The full cast has been announced for Drowned or Saved? by Geoffrey Williams, a new play exploring the life of holocaust survivor and revolutionary thinker, Primo Levi.

Niall Dingle and Theatre Alive! present Drowned or Saved?, anew play by Geoffrey Williams, at the Tristan Bates Theatre, 6 - 24 November 2018.

92Y's 17-18 season opens on October 5 with internationally renowned cellist Mischa Maisky joining the “amazing precision” (Huffington Post) of the notably conductorless Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, which returns to 92Y for the first time in 15 years, to celebrate the cellist's 70th birthday season. Together, they open 92Y's illustrious concert season with Schubert's beloved “Arpeggione” Sonata, arranged for cello and string orchestra by Dobrinka Tabakova, as well as Arensky's Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky, and Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings.  Acclaimed for the sheer intensity and vigor of his performances, Maisky has the distinct honor of being the only cellist in the world to have studied under both Gregor Piatigorsky and Mlatislav Rostrapovich.  The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is renowned as one of the foremost chamber orchestras in the world, with more than 70 albums in its sprawling discography since its founding in 1972.
