Ephemera Spotlight💡: The Politics of Quiet: a music theater oratorio (1996) Bundle

A non-narrative work with images and movement featuring members of Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble, "The Politics of Quiet: a music theater oratorio" echoed the structure of an oratorio or service presenting a contemporary community of people who performed a rite of passage to enter into the new millennium. With no defined characters or narrative, this “ritual” in five sections, each with its own distinctive mood, was enacted by an ensemble cast of ten singer-dancers, two instrumentalists, and two children.

"Michael changed my life as he did for so many others," says @meredithmonk on @mtilsonthomas. "His generosity and brilliance transformed the world. I will always be deeply grateful that he supported and championed my work. 

Michael convinced me to compose my first orchestra piece for the New World Symphony, a piccolo concerto for the San Francisco Symphony, and sing John Cage's 'Song Books' along with Jessye Norman and Joan La Barbara. It was impossible to say no to his enthusiasm and powers of persuasion! I feel sure that the light of Michael's expansive vision will continue to shine for multitudes of people, affirming the power of music to heal and melt barriers of every kind.

Missing Michael and Joshua terribly, I feel blessed that we were on Earth at the same time, that we shared the joy of making music together, that we were friends. May Michael and Joshua enjoy ease and peace wherever they may be!"

It was a night to remember!

The energy at The Mirror Gala was nothing short of electric and we’re still buzzing from the incredible performances and the vibrant community that filled the room. This year was a celebration of everything that special: bold experimentation, multidisciplinary artistry, and the radical joy of coming together.

Thank you for helping us shine a light on the future of music and art. We’re just getting started! 🥂✨
