First Person: Seeing America combines iconic

of the Civil War and haunting portraits from the Great Depression—
with the music of Ensemble Galilei and narration by NPR's Neal Conan and
actress Lily Knight to create a remarkable and powerful performance.
A reception will follow.
“…they play with energy, splendid ensemble,
good humor and imagination.”
