Karen Stokes Book Signing at PSOC Book Shop

The Immortal 600 by Karen Stokes The Preservation Society of Charleston’s Book & Gift Shop at will host author Karen Stokes on Sunday, June 9th from 1-4pm during Second Sunday on King Street.

Karen Stokes’ book, Immortal 600 takes place in 1864, when six hundred Confederate prisoners of war, all officers, were taken out of a prison camp in Delaware and transported to South Carolina. Upon their arrival, most were confined in a Union stockade prison on Morris Island. They were placed in front of two Union forts as “human shields” during the siege of Charleston and exposed to a fearful barrage of artillery fire from Confederate forts. Many of these men would suffer an even worse ordeal at Union-held Fort Pulaski near Savannah, Georgia, where they were subjected to severe food rationing as retaliatory policy. Author and historian Karen Stokes uses the prisoners’ writings to relive the courage, fraternity and struggle of the “Immortal 600.”

This event is free and open to the public. Visit www.preservationsociety.org to see more book signings happening this month at the shop.

2:00 Matinee The Other Mozart at Threshold Repertory Theater

The Other Mozart
At Threshold Repertory Theater this Sunday, attend a performance of The Other Mozart, a play about Nannerl Mozart, the sister of Amadeus. A one-woman show written and performed by Sylvia Milo, directed by Isaac Byrne, it tells the true story of this prodigy, a keyboard virtuoso and composer, who as a child toured through all of Europe performing with her brother, to equal acclaim, but who faded away and left behind nothing of her own. Using Nannerl’s own letters and those of her family, the performance investigates how this female prodigy, this Mozart, faded from the world - and whether this loss was inevitable. The show is set in, on, and underneath its costume: a stunning dress, eighteen feet in diameter, created to fill and spill over the entire stage.

Original music was composed for the play by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen (both recent Fromm commission recipients and members of the International Contemporary Ensemble - currently in residence at the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center) for instruments Nannerl knew intimately, such as clavichords, music boxes, and bells, as well as teacups, fans, and other ordinary objects that might have captured her imagination.  

With the opulent beauty of the dress and hair design, the sweet smells of perfume, and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience and transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight -- but also of overwhelming restrictions and prejudice. There, in communion with the audience, this other Mozart at last tells her story.
