SUMMARY:Artist Conversation | T.S. Eliot & Benjamin Britten | An Immersive Dialogue of Poetry and Music
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 26th\, 3 pm145 Palisade Street\, Lobby SuiteDobbs Ferry\, NY 10522 \nTickets: $20/ must be purchased in advance  \n			\n				Purchase Tickets Here\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				RiverArts will present an immersive experience of poetry and music featuring a reading of TS Eliot’s The Waste Land and performance of Benjamin Britten’s Suite for cello 1\, op 72.  These two works of art will be brought to life together in an intimate concert setting.  \nAward-winning narrator/actor Edoardo Ballerini will render the 100-year-old poem while virtuoso cellist Peter Seidenberg interprets the complex passions woven throughout Britten’s solo cello suite. Poetry and music\, intertwine\, underscore\, and respond to one another\, deepening our experience of these singular artistic masterpieces. The audience will sit in semi-circle around the artists\, creating an immersive experience for both performers and audience.  \nThere will be a conversation with the performers and Dr. Neil Arditi\, Professor of English Literature at Sarah Lawrence College\, led by RiverArts’ Producer & Artistic Director of Artist Conversations & Theater\, Marie-Louise Miller immediately following the performance.  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The twentieth century was a time of mass barbarity and extraordinary hope marked by two world wars\, the negation and re-generation of civil society and the emergence of a new definition of the individual in art\, in society and in politics. Artists like T S Eliot and Benjamin Britten grappled with the starkness and the beauty of their time by creating new forms of expression which shape us to the present day.  \nThe Waste Land\, published in 1922\, is a melding of literary tradition with the experimentalism of free verse. The poem uses allusion\, quotation in several languages\, a variety of verse forms and poetic fragments to create a new voice for a culture in crisis. Eliot stated\, “Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.” What he sought\, as both a writer and a reader\, was “some direct shock of poetic intensity.” For many\, The Waste Land is a symphony of shocks which continue to enthrall readers and listeners alike.  \n“What always surprises people after hearing The Waste Land is how much of a narrative it has. For something so famously rich and complex\, it is also wonderfully accessible.” notes Edoardo Ballerini.  \nSuite for Cello 1\, was written in 1964 as one of three suites for solo cello inspired by and dedicated to Britten’s good friend\, Mstislav Rostropovich. The men were often separated by the on-going conflicts generated by the Cold War. In his speech on receiving the Aspen Award in 1964\, Britten said\, “Rostropovich was such a gloriously uninhibited musician\, with that enormous feeling of generosity you get from the best Russian players. I immediately realized this was a new way to play the cello\, in fact a new vital way of playing music.” The Suite is defined by an emotional range\, epic in nature. By turns anguished\, reflective\, menacing and fervent. The fluid tonality can be incredibly tense. Yet there are also notes of humor and triumph at the end of the piece.  “This suite was such an important war protest in 1963. And I cannot think of a more appropriate time to present this poignant plea for peace\,” states Peter Seidenberg.  \n			\n				Purchase Tickets Here\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n            \n            \n            \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Artist Conversation Series RiverArts creates opportunities to amplify the artistic voice\, bringing insight and delight to our community.
