SIX POINTS FELLOWSHIP 2011 - 2012
Judith was a recipient of a Six Points Fellowship. Over two years she will be writing a chamber opera about Viennese cantor Salomon Sulzer whose life spanned most of the 19th century to include a friendship with Franz Schubert, an arrest during the revolution of 1848, being knighted by the emperor and spreading a liturgical style influenced by the music of his city. The opera will explore these events drawing on influences from Viennese opera, contemporary music and devotional singing of cantors. It features vocal ensemble, percussion, harmoniums and organ and will premier in New York in the fall of 2012. It was commissioned by Six Points and the Foundation for Jewish Culture.
