Preview Performance of At War With Ourselves by Michael Abels & Nikky Finney

At War With Ourselves is a new evening-length work about race relations, social justice, and civil rights by composer Michael Abels and librettist Nikky Finney. After a week of workshopping the piece at the University of South Carolina in preparation for its premiere in San Francisco, Columbia audiences can attend a free preview performance of the work, which includes a choir led by conductor Valérie Sainte-Agathe, featuring members of the San Francisco Girls Chorus and singers from the University of South Carolina, and acclaimed string ensemble the Kronos Quartet in their Southern Exposure series debut. The performance takes place April 3rd at the Koger Center for the Arts.
