“The truth is I must have a change of some sort, or die,” Abraham Lincoln said when criticized for attending opera while the Civil War raged.
The quote, cited during a National Public Radio report on the 16th president’s musical preferences, exemplifies the vital role the arts play to audiences across the human spectrum — from presidents agonizing within impenetrable shadow to children dancing on sunlit lawns. The arts reflect upon and interpret the human condition, illuminating as they entertain, challenging as they soothe, commiserating while inspiring.
The UK Symphony Orchestra, UK Opera Theater, and The Lexington Singers will present “Our Lincoln”, celebrating the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington , D.C. , on Monday, Feb. 2, 2009.
