Musical Meetings at the Borderlands. Symphony Space / April 5th, 2018
We are reaching out to let you know about a special event involving Krzysztof Czyżewski, co-director of the Borderlands Foundation in Sejny, Poland, and leading musicians David Krakauer and Kathleen Tagg.
David Krakauer and Kathleen Tagg (Breath & Hammer) present an evening that highlights their journey in creating a new large-scale piece for the Borderlands Foundation titled The Keepers of the Flame, which took place at the amphitheater of the Krasnagruda International Center for Dialogue in Krasnogruda, Poland, as part of the Borderlands' Misterium Mostu (Mystery of the Bridge) Annual Celebration. On April 5th, they will show a short extract from a film about the project and perform a short concert. In conversation with Krzysztof Czyżewski, one of Poland's great cultural activists and Borderlands co-director, they will also talk about their experience creating and preparing the work and the intersection between music, philosophy, art, and humanist activism in the Borderlands at Krasnagruda, former summer home of Polish poet laureate Czeslaw Miłosz .
