Off-the-Grid: Inspiration in Adversity

In this two-part series focused on timely repertoire,  Inspiration in Adversity shares the stories of those who created art through adversity in the face of disease and discrimination. From Palestrina’s accounts of the Black Plague to music birthed from the South African HIV epidemic, we will musically explore pandemics throughout history, ending with the uplifting and inspirational music of Dolly Parton.

Off-the-Grid: Inspiration and Adversity was filmed in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Theatre.
