A fire broke out in the garment workshop and the seamstresses had no escape; 146 young women, most of them immigrants, perished helplessly in the flames. What was a newspaper report in New York in 1911 was transformed by Julia Wolfe in 2018 into a multimedia oratorio featuring a vast youth choir. A work that strikes straight to the heart: harrowing, moving and frighteningly relevant.
