For more information about upcoming concerts, please visit our website: www.oldfirstconcerts.org This two-piano piece is part of Monk’s multimedia work also called Ellis Island. Between 1892 and 1927, almost 16 million people came to Ellis Island a empting to immigrate to the United States. For the 280,000 who were turned back, Ellis Island become the “Isle of Tears.” Meredith Monk and Bob Rosen chose this site as the se ing for a historical/ psychological ghost story about our ancestors. Ellis Island blends documentary, experimental, ction and dance modes in what Monk describes as “a mosaic of sounds and images woven together into formal musical design.” Tableaux vivants and a photo-documentary stillness collapse the passing of time in haunting scenes of immigrants and their families moving through the clinics, classrooms, and waiting rooms that make up this landscape of memory, pain, and hope.
