Cellist, artist, and writer Ethan Philbrick joins an eclectic ensemble of singers to perform a new large-scale interdisciplinary choral work based on the anarchist philosopher Peter Kropotkin’s 1892 book The Conquest of Bread. Kropotkin is often credited with being the first writer to articulate a theory of mutual aid and The Conquest of Bread is his most widely read text, known for its critique of capitalism and its far-reaching vision of a world in which “all belongs to all.” Philbrick’s The Conquest of Bread will be performed by members of New York City’s socialist movement choir, Sing in Solidarity; a quartet of new music vocalists (Gelsey Bell, Catherine Brookman, Hai-Ting Chinn, and leiken); a trio of movement and performance artists (mayfield brooks, Jennifer Miller, and Anh Vo); and a group of surprise special guests.
