STORY OF A SOLDIER,
PROJECT COPERNICUS ARTISTIC COLLABORATION
Project Copernicus and Ground Up & Rising join creative forces to present " Story of a Soldier ", concert experiences in Miami Beach and West Palm Beach that melded visionary classical music and groundbreaking theatre. A performance in two acts, " Story of a Soldier " featured the world premiere of Project Copernicus' Steve Danyew's poignant original composition, " Letters from Iraq ." which incorporates music and performances drawn from four actual letters home written by fallen soldiers of the Iraq conflict. The performance continues with Igor Stravinsky's masterpiece, " A Soldier's Tale ." Stravinsky's work presents the surreal tale of a young, idealistic WWI soldier whose soul is being vied for by the very Devil himself. The concerts commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War, and honor those fallen soldiers, and all those who are bravely serving our nation.
