Conductor Marin Alsop discusses the significance of performances like Julia Wolfe's "Her Story" amidst contemporary political challenges. She highlights how women have fought hard for their rights and warns about the fragility of these achievements, especially in today's climate. Alsop emphasizes the unifying power of art and music, asserting that these expressions transcend political divides and are essential to the human experience. Her dedication to presenting such works in the current environment reflects her commitment to the arts as a medium for connection and understanding.
I think it's so important that we're reminded of the intense progress that women have made throughout history and how hard-fought for it was and how hard-won it was.
Art is about the human spirit. It's about the human soul. It's about the human condition. And it also connects us.
