“There are no small emotions for Galás, whose compositions are music theater with its rawest nerves exposed.” —New York Times
One's cultural life is incomplete without witnessing Diamanda Galás in concert. Defixiones: Orders from the Dead is a music theater spectacle and sacred mass that excavates the Armenian, Assyrian, Anatolian and Pontic Greek genocides that occurred between 1914 and 1923. With a chillingly beautiful three-and-a-half octave voice, virtuosic piano technique, eight languages and a passion for exposing forgotten events, Galás is a living legend. Don't miss her in this rare Bay Area appearance.
