Author John Berger
     WRITERS & COMPANY 3-4 P.M. RADIO
     Sunday, November 5

          with the hell of 20th century poverty, displacement and
          powerlessness, but also with the endless ordinary human
          search for paradise. The hero of many English-speaking
          intellectuals during the 1970s, Berger moved 20 years ago to
          a small village in the French Alps to see if he could write
          about peasants. He wanted to understand their experience of
          their world and to find out what mattered to them. He wanted
          to tell the peasants' story before they were gone from the
          earth. (5 Man/Alta/BC)

          Mass by Bohislav Martinu was commissioned by exiled Czechs
          for soldiers to sing on the battlefield. Schoenberg's A
          Survivor from Warsaw was inspired by a story the composer
          heard about Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto who courageously
          sang while being taken to the gas chambers. In Terra Pax by
          Swiss composer Frank Martin was commissioned by Radio Geneva
          to be performed at the end of the war. Joining the Montreal
          Symphony for this special concert are the MSO Chorus and
          soloists Henriette Schellenberg, Janis Taylor, Gregory
          Cross, Kevin McMillan and John Cheek.
