DISSIDENT: Songs for Anna Akhmatova

How can a poet reach across continents, generations, and languages, speaking to us ~singing to us~as if she were alive today? The Cecilia Series explores the extraordinary music inspired by the work of Ukrainian-born poet, Anna Akhmatova. Her visceral writing made her a target of Stalin and became the lightning rod for powerful music from composers as varied as Sergei Prokofiev, John Tavener, and singer-songwriter Iris DeMent. The program includes brief readings of Akhmatova’s poems and songs using her texts, performed in Russian and English.
