But I could not promise anything: with songs and poems, they either arrive or they don't. I then wrote the sequence in one session. I made the ‘sisters’ plural because they are indeed – unhappily – very plural. Sisters, daughters, mothers. So many." Margaret Atwood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c72e080de0a12bc86e19b/1612656522242-5N9J561N3FG1HLCE0KBI/JakeHeggie.jpg Home - “Margaret sent a perfect, complete set of 8 texts and asked, ‘How about something like this?’ Josh and I were stunned and deeply moved. I am in complete awe of Margaret’s genius – and it was a great honor and privilege to explore every corner of her poems to shape this musical, emotional journey for Josh.” Jake Heggie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c72e080de0a12bc86e19b/1612657385745-6SMPXS9WKA6ICS89ITTO/1_SongsforMurderedSisters_AlbumCover.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c72e080de0a12bc86e19b/1612731419920-JJR4COOG6NXRT4XV366L/JoshuaHopkins_creditDarioAcosta.jpg Home - “I felt so numb after Nathalie’s murder. It was so shocking it was almost impossible to comprehend. But Margaret’s words and Jake’s music have opened a door, and stepping through it has allowed me to access all my complicated feelings surrounding Nathalie’s death. You don’t process grief in a linear fashion – any emotion can come up any time you’re experiencing an emotional influx. But meaning transforms grief into a more peaceful and hopeful experience. These songs have provided that meaning for me.” Joshua Hopkins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c72e080de0a12bc86e19b/58ed4591-69ea-4a0e-8c17-6eaee722c917/Kimmel_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts-1-e1466027399441.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c72e080de0a12bc86e19b/58ed4591-69ea-4a0e-8c17-6eaee722c917/Kimmel_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts-1-e1466027399441.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c72e080de0a12bc86e19b/b77052ab-fac4-46c1-b74d-b883040db4c6/carnegie_hall_exterior.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c72e080de0a12bc86e19b/124b5ed4-fe72-4481-b34a-a47a4c744988/1403634365000-ftmdc5-65s8yioal511gjh6rjp3-original.jpg Home
