Meet the creators of Heroes Unite! Award winning translator and playwright, Philip Boehm, brings 21st century relevance to Beethoven and Goethe's themes of courage, justice, and freedom in his new translation Egmont. To honor the 125th anniversary of Paul Robeson’s birth, Orpheus commissioned Jasmine Barnes to create Songs of Paul, a set of new arrangements featuring spirituals that were his calling cards, interspersed with quotes from Robeson himself.
This free event requires tickets to the performance which can be purchased at Carnegie Hall.
