About
Julia Wolfe & Bang on a Can All-Stars: Anthracite Fields is a concert evening at NYU Skirball pairing ambitious music with American history. NYU Professor Julia Wolfe joins the Bang on a Can All-Stars for her Pulitzer Prize-winning oratorio Anthracite Fields, with commentary from the composer herself. The work gives voice to the lives, labor, and endurance of Pennsylvania coal miners and their families, drawing on oral histories, speeches, work songs, and local lore. Written for chorus and six instrumentalists, it transforms industrial history into a vivid musical portrait of community, hardship, and survival.
