Composed in 2004, Annelies is a work for choir, instrumental ensemble, and soprano soloist. The libretto is based upon Anne Frank's diary ("Annelies" is the full version of Anne's first name) and set to music by composer James Whitbourn.
The Providence Singers, a 90-voice concert choir led by Dr. Christine Noel, will be joined by guest soprano Jess Huetteman and chamber ensemble: Graham Schultz, piano; Ian Greitzer, clarinet; Zoya Tsvetkova, violin; and Dan Harp, cello.
This performance will be accompanied by a video presentation of evocative images and photos curated and compiled by Barnaby Evans, the creator of Providence Waterfire. These images, many of them rarely seen family photos from the Frank Foundation, work with the music to create a moving and immersive experience.
Also included in the concert is "Let My Love Be Heard" by Jake Runestad.
