Percussionist Christopher Clarino will present the rarely-performed masterpiece by Karlheinz Stockhausen: INORI. Written in 1974, Karlheinz stockhausen's INORI is a rarely performed, concert-length work for soloist and electronic audio playback. Created by one of the 20th Century’s most notoriously challenging composers, INORI is an exploration of the gestures of prayer and religious ritual as they appear in cultures from around the world. Inside the performance, the soloist makes no sound, and instead moves through a series of meticulously choreographed gestures that coincide with Stockhausen's luminously orchestrated score. This profound work takes the audience on a deeply meditative journey, punctuated by moments of despair and shocking violence. INORI will be performed by San Diego-based percussionist Christopher Clarino, who is currently touring the piece across the United States and in Brazil. As the first person to perform this extremely virtuosic work in the U.S., Clarino's approach to the material is equally rooted in his experience interpreting some of contemporary music's most challenging percussion works, as well as his time as an interpreter of American Sign Language. By merging ritualistic gestures and musical expression, INORI is a unique and moving experience not to be missed.

Join the Coronado Historical Association for our final Wine & Lecture this Spring, Save the Last Bullet. Heidi Langbein-Allen’s father, Willi Langbein, was thirteen when the Nazis took him away from his parents under the pretense of protecting him. The real reason was to mold him into cannon-fodder for use against the Russian army. Willi was sent to the Eastern Front at age fourteen in the last days of the war to stave off the advance of the Russians. Neither he nor his classmates We expected to return alive from the final battles of the Third Reich. Having survived the war against all odds, Willi returned home to find everything he knew destroyed. Numb and confused, he was mandated to serve one year of forced farm labor, putting his life on hold. After his release, he gradually realized that all he was taught to believe in was a lie and sinks into depression. Eventually, he began to heal through a fortuitous friendship with a kind British soldier. Through him, Willi glimpsed his future: he can do his part to ensure that the evil he witnessed is never again repeated. Ultimately, he succeeded by earning the Medal of European Merit in 1979 for his contribution to the advancement of democracy in Europe. Join us for this moving lecture of Willi’s story, told from his perspective as a child soldier in the Nazi army. You will be moved by this story of innocence lost and despair, but also of grit and determination, and of hope restored.
