Fire in my mouth — Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest
Julia Wolfe’s powerful multimedia oratorio commemorates the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, where 146 young garment workers, mostly immigrants, lost their lives. This haunting work for orchestra and a massive youth choir transforms historical tragedy into a deeply moving and topical musical experience. The performance also features the Dutch premiere of Moussa's Nocturne.
