A dramatic oratorio to tell the story of one soldier, his family and his battles waged beyond a war.

 

Every generation has been touched by war. The World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan - we all know someone whose life has been changed by war. This soldier’s story holds truth for anyone who has gone to war, or loved someone who has. With your help, we can bring John Meneely’s inspiring true story to the stage, telling it through powerful music and poetry. Your contribution through the Chorale’s New Choral Works Initiative, supporting Letter From Italy, 1944, will help us deliver the life work of two sisters to a rapt Connecticut audience - and the world.
