In
honor of Kurt Vonnegut’s 90th Birthday, Orchestra Miami presents the gripping
story of Pvt. Eddie D. Slovick, the only US soldier to be executed for desertion
since the Civil War, set to Igor Strainsky’s unforgettable music for “Histoire
di Soldat”. It's an emotionally packed fully staged performance featuring four
actors, seven musicians directed by Michael Yawney and conducted by Elaine
Rinaldi. When asked by New York Magazine, "It must have been visceral to
write..." Vonnegut answered, "Yes, it was. It was a unique event in American
history, and The Execution of Private Slovik, (the book), was out of
print. Slovik deserves to be kept alive." Gates open at 6:00 p.m. for
refreshments by Macy's catering. Tickets $25 & $30, to purchase click here. |
