“Pairing projections of Pulitzer Prize-nominated photographer Chris Hondros' images from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq with Bach selections played by live musicians, Sound + Vision: At War is a powerful, insightful reflection on the major American conflicts of the last decade. Divided into sections such as religion, soldiers, prisoners, faces, and play, the presentation includes images of battle and casualties, but it focuses largely on the day-to-day life of Afghan and Iraqi civilians and American soldiers. With President Obama ending our military involvement in Iraq but pressing on in Afghanistan, the performance is a timely, essential event.”
John Peacock, Flavorpill
Pulitzer Prize-nominated photojournalist Chris Hondros of Getty Images and musical director Kenneth Hamrick of Fusion Bande collaborate to present a multi-media performance of celebrated wartime images from Afghanistan and Iraq, illuminated by the transcendent music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The result is a visual and musical experience that speaks meaningfully of the emotions encountered wherever there is war.
