THE SEVENTY-SIXTH SEASON OF CONCERTS AT THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART

Where words fail, music speaks. — Hans Christian Andersen

As Rod Stewart put it: “Every picture tells a story.” Wandering through the galleries here at the National Gallery, one sees many stories as told through the eyes of the great masters. This season of concerts, you will hear many more stories, as told through music. Experiences from around the world and through the ages will come to life on our stage, helping to foster not only knowledge but also compassion and understanding of what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes. From tales of Norway during World War II to personal reflections on choosing a certain path in India or Japan, and from Renaissance Holland and ancient Estonia to Gullah life in South Carolina, the stories are varied but at the same time communicate through a language everyone can understand. Music is the language everyone speaks.

New York Opera Society Letters from Ruth, a staged concert

SEPTEMBER 24, 2017 / 3:30

WEST BUILDING, WEST GARDEN COURT

Celebrating Edvard Munch: Color in Context

Music by Gisle Kverndokk, libretto by Aksel-Otto Bull and Gisle Kverndokk, read by Gisle Kverndokk, and based on Ruth Maier’s Diary — A Young Jewish Girl’s Life under Nazism, by Jan Erik Vold. Letters from Ruth was commissioned by Musikkteaterforum, Norway.

Born in 1920 in Vienna, Austria, Ruth Maier grew up to be an exceptionally talented writer and painter who kept a diary through-out her life. In 1939, she fled to Norway to escape Nazi persecution and lived with a family in Lillestrøm, just outside Oslo. She learned to speak Norwegian fluently, and in 1941, met the young poet Gunvor Hofmo, who became her intimate friend and lover. They had a stormy relationship that lasted until Ruth was deported with Norwegian Jews in November 1942 and killed in the gas chamber at Auschwitz upon her arrival. Gunvor went on to become one of Norway’s greatest poets and kept Ruth’s diaries. They were discovered after Gunvor’s death in 1995 and edited and published by the Norwegian poet, Jan Erik Vold in 2007. The New York Opera Society will premiere selections from the new opera in a staged concert, in advance of its world premiere.

In addition to having numerous works dedicated to her or com- posed for her (most notably Boccherini’s Six Sonatas for Pianoforte and Violin, op. 5), she was a composer herself. In a series of performances, LACE replicates Mme Brillon’s salons with music by Boccherini, Mozart, Mme Brillon, and others from the era.

Ranky Tanky

MAY 13, 2018 / 3:30

TBD

Presented in connection with Outliers and American Vanguard Art

“Gullah” comes from a West African language and means “a people blessed by God.” “Ranky Tanky” translates loosely as “Work It,” or “Get Funky!” In this spirit, this Charleston, South Caroli-na-based quintet performs timeless music of Gullah culture born in the southeastern Sea Island region of the United States. From playful game songs to ecstatic shouts, from heartbreaking spirituals to delicate lullabies, the musical roots of Charleston, South Carolina, are “rank” and fertile ground from which these contemporary artists are grateful to have grown.
