Anthracite Fields – world premiere 2014

• Pulitzer Prize in music, Julia Wolfe – 2015
• “Anthracite Fields has all the guts of any Wolfe piece, but may be her most attractive work yet. At least, that’s how it sounded in the Mendelssohn Club’s solid performance under Alan Harler.” David Patrick Stearns, Philadelphia Inquirer
• “Wolfe – and the performers and production designers who helped bring “Anthracite Fields” to life – got it exactly right. “It was just so captivating,” Powell said. “It did a lot for our heritage here in northeastern Pennsylvania.”” Associated Press
