This Stabbing Shard: Music and Poetry From Oppression to Hope

Join Duo Dramatique (Dominika Dancewicz, violin & Andrew Schneider, piano) for a riveting evening of music and poetry.

The artists will share music and words by composers and writers who evocatively express their take on various forms of political oppression, be it war, poverty, or racial and social prejudice, or who bring forth a strong cultural identity in their works.

The Duo will perform music by:

Leoš Janaček

Serge Prokofiev

Erberk Eryilmaz

Dmitri Shostakovich

William Grant-Still

Max Richter

You will hear us talking about and reciting poems by:

Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński

Wilfred Owen

Dylan Thomas

Claude McKay

Paul Celan

Dunya Mikhail

Jericho Brown

The music and poetry will be accompanied by images chosen by us and projected on stage in Cullen Hall.

“This Stabbing Shard” project is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance “Let Creativity Happen” grant.

FREE and open to all!
