Bang on a Can All-Stars

May 19, 2022


The 2018 Carnegie Hall performance of Julia Wolfe’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Anthracite Fields was one of the season’s most unforgettable events. Inspired by the lives of Pennsylvania coal miners, Wolfe uses oral histories, interviews with miners and their families, speeches, and children’s stories in moving musical tableaux that depict their plight. Hear this “major profound work” (Los Angeles Times) for the first time or be moved by it once again.
