Join Opera Theater Oregon for a special performance of This Land Sings by Grammy® award winning composer Michael Daugherty. Inspired by radio programs of the New Deal, Daugherty's eleven original songs and five instrumental pieces blend original lyrics with music that draws from the simple, yet enduring folk melodies of musician and activist, Woody Guthrie. Also on the program is Michael Lanci‘s award-winning Songs for Joe Hill, inspired by the protest songs of 19th Century labor activist Joe Hill. OTO’s presentation will be the NW premiere of both of these works!

Look forward to performances by Hannah Penn, Daniel Mobbs, Helen Huang, Lisa Neher, and OTO directors Nicholas Meyer, Lisa Lipton and Justin Ralls with stage direction by Julia Bray – with a special appearance by Portland’s very own progressive talk radio host, Thom Hartmann as our radio announcer.
