Aurea: Darwin at Sea

September 7, 2018 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

In this compelling program, eloquent letters, journal entries and excerpts from Darwin’s seminal publications humanize one of the most probing and influential minds in modern history. Framed by the poetry of Blake, Wordsworth, and Coleridge, as well as the ground-breaking string quartets of Mendelssohn and Beethoven, together with Chris Turner’s virtuosic harmonica improvisations, Darwin’s uncanny sense of observation and vision of natural science are entwined with his strong sense of family, faith and understanding of the human condition, in a complex era.

En este programa cautivador, cartas, anotaciones del diario personal de Darwin, y pasajes de sus publicaciones más importantes, humanizan a unos de los intelectuales y científicos más importantes en la historia moderna.

Contextualizado por la poesía de Blake, Wordsworth y Coleridge, en conjunto con los cuartetos de cuerdas revolucionarios, de Mendelssohn y Beethoven, y con la improvisación de Chris Turner con su armónica, se realizará el raro sentido de observación de Darwin y su visión de la ciencia entrelazado con su ánimo de familia, fe, y la condición humana en una época compleja.

Featuring: Katherine Winterstein, Andrew Eng, violins; Consuelo Sherba, viola; Emmanuel Feldman, cello; Chris Turner, harmonica & spoken word.
