SUMMARY:DC Emancipation and the Right to Vote

Presented by the Alliance for New Music-Theatre. \nNo story is more important\, but still relatively unknown to the greater Washington community and the nation\, than the story of DC Emancipation (nine months earlier than Lincoln’s Proclamation of 1863) to make DC the first in the nation to establish city-wide emancipation\, including the first votes cast by African American men in Georgetown’s Rose Park\, in the then richly populated Black Georgetown neighborhood. ANMT will share musical numbers from this work-in-progress. Experience first-hand the development process of a new work. \nPerformances on Sunday\, April 6\, at 3pm and Wednesday\, April 16 at 7pm. Tickets available here. \n

SUMMARY:Little City Concerts: Waking the Witch
DESCRIPTION:Balance Campaign returns to Little City Concerts to open their 2024-2025 season with Waking the Witch.\n \nWaking the Witch is a one-act immersive chamber opera\, composed by Ashi Day\, for solo countertenor and Pierrot ensemble. The opera explores human vulnerability to absurd beliefs and the danger that ensues when authority figures display black-and-white thinking\, fear of those with less power\, and susceptibility to conspiracy theories. The audience is placed in the middle of the action as the accused witch\, physically surrounded with a single-minded interrogator and animal familiars of questionable reality (played by the treble instruments). Using text derived from both historical witchfinders and modern-day statesmen with eerily similar messaging\, listeners are tossed between the wild ride of a spooky story\, the frustration of navigating the impossible logic of power mixed with bizarre moral panic\, and the dangerous reality that these things did\, and in many ways still do\, happen. \nTickets available here. \nCREATIVE TEAM \nAshi Day\, composer and librettist\nMin Sang Kim\, countertenor\nLee Cromwell\, director\nBalance Campaign\, Pierrot ensemble \nThe development of Waking the Witch received funding from OPERA America’s Opera Grants for Women Composers: Discovery Grants program\, supported by the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation.
