Jaap van Zweden conducts Julia Wolfe’s immersive visual and musical event — featuring lights, chamber choir, video, and projection — that explores a seminal event in New York City, the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 that killed more than 100 young immigrants.
The immersive, multimedia performance will feature the New York Philharmonic, 36 women of the chamber choir The Crossing and 110 young women of the Young People's Chorus of New York City.
The title of Wolfe's new work comes from labor activist Clara Lemlich Shavelson, who, when looking back on her radical youth said, “Ah, then I had fire in my mouth,” though the titular fire also refers to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911, where 136 women perished.
