CPA Series | Program Notes Live: Hello Gold Mountain: Douglas Shadle and Matías Tarnopolsky Pre-Performance Conversation
Description
Moeser Auditorium at Hill Hall | General Admission
Set in the tumultuous context of war-torn China in the 1940s, composer Wu Fei’s “Hello Gold Mountain” captures the extraordinary experience of European Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai during the Nazi era and then to California at the dawn of Communist rule. This exploration of unstable cultural convergence, a “requiem for lost possibilities,” offers an opportunity for profound reflection on identity, loss, and hope in times of global upheaval. Musicologist Douglas Shadle joins Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center, Inc., CEO Matías Tarnopolsky in conversation to explore the contemporary and historical significance of this work, and its relationship to intersecting Jewish and Chinese identities.
