The Crossing | Donald Nally, conductor, releases video of Robert Maggio’s “democracy”
Oct 10, 2020
Democracy (world premiere)
Robert Maggio
Composer of The Crossing’s 2019 stage work, Aniara, Maggio returns with a new work, setting words of Franklin Roosevelt’s “Arsenal of Democracy” radio speech from December 1940. Determined, inspiring, and relentless, FDR insists that he would ask no one to defend a democracy that would not in turn defend everyone in the nation.
