'It is with great sorrow that I learn about the passing of Frank Macchiarola. Frank was a great Brooklynite, proud Italian-American, a friend, and a mentor. I valued his guidance and advice when I served on the NYC Charter Review Commission. New York is a better place thanks to Frank's hard work and dedication. His commitment to education - as New York City Public Schools Chancellor and at places such as St. Francis College, Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Columbia University's Graduate School of Business, and City University of New York - will forever be felt in this city. The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce would like to convey its deepest sympathies to Frank's family at this time, and in particular to his wife Mary and three sons, as we mourn his passing. He will be greatly missed.'

Soldier Songs is an evening-length multimedia event from composer David T. Little that combines elements of theater, opera, rock-infused concert music, and animation to portray a chilling and realistic view of our media-crazed, war machine culture, and of the nature of power in war. It delivers tough questions and tells tough stories through its poignant libretto, driving music, and surprising visual counterpoint. Created by the composer, the libretto was adapted from recorded interviews with veterans of five wars. Soldier Songs traces the shift in perception of war from the age of 6 to the age of 66. We follow the abstract character through the three phases of life: Child (playing war games) Warrior (time served in the military) and Elder (aged, wise,reflective).
