A performance and discussion based on Homer's Odyssey
Monday, March 14, 7 pm
The Paideia Institute invites you to join us at The Duplex in Manhattan for an evening of live performance and discussion with composer Joe Goodkin. Joe will perform his interpretation of the Odyssey, a 30-minute composition for solo acoustic guitar and voice that deconstructs the story of Homer's Odyssey in 24 short songs. The performance evokes in contemporary musical mode both the abridged plot and the performance context of the ancient epic. Joe's Odyssey includes performance, lecture, and interactive discussion.
