THE NATIONAL ANTHEMS

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 @ 8PM
Alexander Kasser Theater, Montclair State University, NJ

presented by Peak Performances
with the strings of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE)

Where does patriotism end and nationalism begin?

We reunite with our friends at ICE and revisit one of our favorite programs for our debut at the renowned Peak Performances series. Anchored by David Lang’s thought-provoking, moving the national anthems, we look at ways in which we engage words to capture our desires, fears, and needs – not just in describing our homelands, but also in the relationships between men and women, parent and child, homeless and homed.
