This evening brings together ambitious music and American history, with commentary from the composer herself.Anthracite Fields gives voice to the lives, labor, and endurance of Pennsylvania coal miners and their families, drawing on oral histories, speeches, work songs, and local lore. Written for chorus and six instrumentalists, the piece moves between intimacy and monumentality with extraordinary force, transforming industrial history into a vivid musical portrait of community, hardship, and survival.
