Dust Bowl at Verdigris Ensemble

DUST BOWL

Anthony J. Maglione’s acclaimed musical exploration of Texas history, which played to sold-out audiences during its world premiere in 2020, triumphantly returns to Dallas. The originally-crafted work, which was hailed by Dallas critics as “breathtaking” and “unlike anything else in our city,” features first-hand accounts of survivors of the Dust Bowl with additional newspaper articles and diary entries. In collaboration with bluegrass band, video projection, and choreographed movement, Verdigris Ensemble brings Dust Bowl back to Dallas and asks the question: how did this happen and have we learned from our mistakes?
