Missionaries Part 1 from Joel Sindelar on Vimeo. |
In 2010, Joel was music director for the New England premiere of Elizabeth Swados' Missionaries, a concert-length work commemorating the deaths of four American missionaries killed while doing human rights advocacy in El Salvador.
The first performances without the composer present, this production sold out two performances in Boston. The Assistant Consul of El Salvador joined the cast, and her experience was written up in the Boston Globe. |
