Musical narrative looks at war and after
Shaw Pong Liu, a violinist, teacher, artist and sonic explorer Boston who has been part of the past two Blue Sky Projects sponsored by the University of Dayton, will return to Dayton Monday, Oct. 24, for the Midwest premiere of her musical narrative, “Soldiers Tales Untold.”
Time is 8 p.m. at the South Park United Methodist Church, 140 Stonemill Road, Dayton.
“This is a performance that brings together music of Stravinsky, veterans’ stories and community dialogue about war, veterans’ issues, and post-traumatic stress disorder,” she said. “I am thrilled to be directing a stellar group of musicians from the Dayton Philharmonic, local actors and UD faculty and students in a production especially designed for the University of Dayton Music Department.”
A post-performance discussion will include panelists Dr. Kristen Rodzinka, staff psychologist and coordinator of the Dayton VA PTSD program; Bill Walker, a local Vietnam veteran, and a representative from the military community.
Admission is free, but donations will be accepted on behalf of local organizations that help veterans.
There will be also be a special performance of Stravinsky’s original piece, “The Soldier’s Tale (L’Histoire du Soldat),” directed by Patrick Reynolds, at 8 p.m. on Sunday Oct 23, at Sears Recital Hall in UD’s Philips Humanities Center.
