The narrators are Andrea Goodman, formerly a principal vocalist with the Meredith Monk Ensemble, and Carol Farrell, co-director of Figures of Speech. A quest to collect the sweetest song in all the world leads the narrators to China, where they meet the emperor, the nightingale and, to their surprise, Andersen. The original vocal score was composed by Goodman and is paired with lively percussion. It is performed onstage by rising-star Annegret Baier of Stuttgart, Germany. WJU students are admitted free.
Tickets are available at the door, but reservations are recommended.
For more information , call x2235. On April 18 juniors and seniors at Nassau Boces High School in New York will take part in a new high-tech simulated learning experience. During the course of the two-hour mission, the inhabitants of fictitious Angela Island are in danger due to an approaching hurricane and possible erupting volcano. The Nassau Boces crew members are responsible for tracking the hurricane's path and collecting data on volcanic rock fall to determine if residents must be evacuated. Students who participate in a simulated mission take the encounter as seriously as the crew at NASA's Houston Mission Control.
