Fire in my mouth continues composer Julia Wolfe’s musical investigations into American labour history with a libretto that explores the world of the women who worked in New York City's garment industry in the early 20th century and a focus on the tragic 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and its aftermath. A large-scale work for orchestra and women's chorus, the 2019 world premiere was performed by the New York Philharmonic (Jaap van Zweden), The Crossing and the Young People's Chorus of NYC.
Presented by Kenny Savelson (USA)
