Scenes of violent, dramatic change evoked through the spoken word are on store for you in A Marathon Metamorphoses, a reading of
Ovid's great poem by more than 70 St. Louisans at the
Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts this
weekend. To find out more click here.
Among the esteemed list of readers
are William Gass, Bob Duffy, Emily Rauh Pulitzer, K. Curtis Lyle, Mary Jo Bang,
Sarah Bryan Miller, Chris King, Tom Schlafly, and, representing the SLSO, David Halen and me. David Robertson would
have participated but he has a couple of gigs at the
BBC Proms in London
this week: Friday night with Stephen Hough and Steven Isserlis and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and Wednesday night with
Colin Currie and the BBCSO. David
R. probably would have shown us all up by reading it in Latin anyway.
