(wfcr) -
Friday, September 29th at Mass MOCA, in North Adams, Massachusetts, a new musical based on the findings of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be performed. Johannesburg composer Philip Miller has created a cantata that incorporates musical composition for voice and instrument, with audio recordings taken directly from the Commission hearings -- thousands of statements from men and women about the violence they experienced, witnessed, or conducted during apartheid. WFCR's Charlene Scott reports.
