Join us for a special presentation and talk with Ralf Yusuf Gawlick, a German-American composer of Romani-Kurdish descent, on his Romanes oratorio, O Lungo Drom (The Long Road).
O Lungo Drom (The Long Road) is an authentic testimony of the Sinti and Roma people, whose journey since time immemorial has been shrouded by poetic and popular imagination. O Lungo Drom sets the words of thirteen different Roma and Sinti poets and writers in ten languages and Romanes dialects featuring the writing of activist and artist Ceija Stojka.
