    Remembrance and Redemption

    Mass possession, sin, and redemption! We welcome members of Dzieci, an experimental theatre troop that is re-thinking ideas of art and suffering in a new performance called “The Devils of Loudun.” And the reknowned pianist Grant Johannesen has spent over 50 years perfecting his approach to French music, which we will offer to us live in the studio, along with many of his great stories of composers and performers past.
