Da Camera of Houston presents Chopin in Paris Epigraph for a Condemned Book. A unique tapestry of sight and sound, Sarah Rothenberg's Epigraph for a Condemned Book reveals the daring genius of Chopin's piano works. In this original performance collage, fragments of Delacroix's intense paintings, early photography and the provocative writings of Baudelaire interweave with Chopin's music to magically evoke 19th-century Paris and its romantic spirit.

Conceived, directed and performed by Sarah Rothenberg, pianist. Presented in collaboration with the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts and Blaffer Gallery, in conjunction with Blaffer Gallery's exhibition Damaged Romanticism (September 13-November 15, 2008). Co-commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre, New Haven; University Musical Society, Ann Arbor; and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Champaign-Urbana.
