ERC Has released July 5th!
We are thrilled to share the audio drama ‘July 5th” with you, featuring actor Albert Jones as Frederick Douglass
July 5th, by playwright Ken Green, in collaboration with music designer Eve Wolf, is inspired by real events and real people in American history. The drama unfolds on the very day Douglass is writing and preparing to give what would become his most famous speech: “What to the Slave is the 4th of July?” The play’s action is interwoven with a musical program that includes works by Joel Thompson, Julius Eastman, George Walker, hip-hop, rap, and traditional spirituals. July 5th will be released by the Winter Holidays.
ERC thanks the National Endowment for the Arts for their partial support of this project.
Other supporters we wish to thank include:
The Friends of ERC and The Augustine Foundation.
The trials of oscar wilde
A fully staged theatrical concert interweaving music and drama about one of the most famous trials of the 19th century.
“The love that dare not speak its name” roared vociferously to bring down Oscar Wilde, destroying the life of one of England’s most beloved writers. Under the glare of public scrutiny, Oscar Wilde was shackled, tried, and imprisoned for his homosexuality. Wilde’s brilliant wit, biting humor, and tragic story are set amid dramatic works of chamber music, including Chausson’s Concerto for violin, piano and string quartet, works by Satie, Elgar, Fauré and Franck as well as a romping barbershop quartet. Experience music and history in a new and captivating way.
Location and dates will be announced this Fall.
