CSO PROOF: THE RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN On Jan. 25

CSO_The Right to be Forgotten promoCSO PROOF: THE RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
Jan. 25
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Gabriel Kahane, voice, piano, guitars
Alex Sopp, voice, piccolo, flutes
Nathalie Joachim, voice, piccolo, flutes
Holcombe Waller, voice, piano, synthesizer

Do you remember your brain before the internet? Before you became tethered to a tiny computer that travels on an infinite loop from nightstand to pocket to purse to your hand and back again? Were your dreams different? Did you wander the streets of a strange city, and did you delight in the terror of getting lost? In a new song cycle, Gabriel Kahane examines our cultural and economic obsessions with convenience and efficiency, and the debts that accrue as a result: debts to labor, to the planet, to privacy and, increasingly, to our free will.

These CSO Proof performances are supported by The Haile Foundation, Irwin & Melinda Simon, and the American Orchestras’ Futures Fund, a program of the League of American Orchestras made possible by funding from the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation.
