The Cellist of Sarajevo 
by Steven Galloway

During the Serbian siege of Sarajevo in the early 1990s, residents faced the danger of sniper fire and mortar attacks. One such attack killed 22 civilians waiting in line at a local bakery. For each of the following 22 days a cellist played alone in the town square, a performance for each victim. 

Join PCM, KUSC’s Brian Lauritzen, and musicians from Salastina Music Society for a unique concert program inspired by The Cellist of Sarajevo. For a closer look into this program, you can attend our Prelude on October 9 at Vroman’s Bookstore.
