A free workshop performance of the final act of The Garden of Martyrs, a new opera on the 19th century case of Irish immigrants executed in Northampton for a murder they likely did not commit, will take place on Sunday, June 24 at 5:00 p.m. in Buckley Recital Hall at Amherst College. The performance will be conducted by Kevin Rhodes of the Springfield Symphony and will be followed by a conversation with Maestro Rhodes, librettist Harley Erdman of the UMass Theater faculty and composer Eric Sawyer of the Amherst College music faculty. Sponsored by Live In Concert, the performance features vocalists William Hite, Amy Johnson, stage direction by Vernon Hartman, and choreography by Wendy Woodson.
