Public Lecture-Recital by Prof. Sara Laimon: Memory Transformed: Frederic Rzewski's De Profundis

Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s harrowing jailhouse meditation De Profundis, Rzewski’s De Profundis: Oratorio for Speaking Pianist breaks down the barriers between a piano recital and a theatrical experience as it takes the audience on a voyeuristic journey through Wilde’s attempt to spiritualize his imprisonment for homosexuality.
