Sanders, actor ^Shostakovich and the Black Monk—A Russian FantasyThe Emerson String Quartet, accompanied by an ensembleof seven actors, weaves the tale of Dmitri Shostakovich’s50-year obsessive quest to create an opera from The BlackMonk, Chekhov’s theatrical chamber masterpiece aboutlove, art, madness, and freedom. Through music—including a complete performance of Shostakovich’s StringQuartet No. 14—supported by actors and multimediaprojections, we see Shostakovich himself trying overdecades to retell Chekhov’s haunting and heroic story of awriter struggling for his sanity, only to be sidetrackedagain and again by the composer’s own struggle to surviveas an artist amid the ever-changing imperatives of Stalin’sSoviet state.
