THE BEAUTY THAT STILL REMAINS: DIARIES IN SONG
A three-part series of radio-style song cycle performances based on diary texts

Music by Dominick Argento, Juliana Hall, & Leoš Janáček
Text by Anne Frank, Osef Kalda, & Virginia Woolf

In these times of difficulty and isolation, personal expression through journaling can be an essential and cathartic activity. What can we find in common with those of distant pasts who have sought solace and inspiration in their diaries? Imagine flipping through the pages of an old diary and hearing the voice of the writer come to life with stirring music. In The Beauty That Still Remains: Diaries in Song, we will present three song cycles linked by their use of the diary as libretto. Audience members will receive a keepsake diary in the mail containing the handwritten libretto (the diary contents), access codes to the pre-recorded audio performance, invitations to accompanying virtual events, and insights into the people and places depicted within each of these moving song cycles.

Once you place your order, diaries will be mailed out every 1-2 weeks. If you buy all three diaries, each diary will be mailed out individually every 2 weeks. Orders may be placed until January 24. The pre-recorded audio performances will be available through a password protected page until March 31, 2021. Each diary runs approximately 30 minutes and is sung in English. Scroll down to the FAQ section for further information.
