We hope to enjoy your company at the Miami Chamber Music Society's next event Dante's Divine Comedy: an inspiring and ground-breaking journey with literature, music and film, on Saturday, October 16 at 4pm at the Kislak Center at the University of Miami Libraries. Limited tickets will go on sale on October 6, 2021
University of Miami Libraries, School of Communication and Miami Chamber Music Society present a special immersive event inspired by Dante Alighieri’s epic poem The Divine Comedy. This cutting-edge performance merges elements of literature, live classical music, originally produced short films that incorporate colorized drawings of the legendary French illustrator Gustave Doré and a series of choreographed projections.
Raising questions that are still relevant today, Dante’s work helped produce the intellectual and cultural changes known as the Renaissance, which transformed the world forever. It inspired music, films, novels. Artists, including Salvador Dalí and Sandro Botticelli, have produced paintings echoing stories Dante told. Recently, Dante’s work was adapted for the mystery thriller film Inferno, starring Tom Hanks.
This special event will present a contemporary interpretation of this timeless literary masterpiece, combined with thrilling music of Franz Liszt, narration and stunning visuals, it will take the audiences on a majestic journey through the infinite torment of Hell, up the arduous slopes of Purgatory, and onto the glorious realm of Paradise.
Concept and visuals: Prof. Ali Habashi, School of Communication
Music performance: Beiyao Ji, Doctoral Candidate in Piano Performance, Frost School of Music
Book Presentation: University of Miami Libraries
