Welcome to the second season opening of the Muffled Voices Festival, a celebration of women composers through powerful chamber opera productions that spotlight stories of courage, memory, and resilience.

The evening features the U.S. premiere of one-act chamber opera "Baruch’s Silence" by Ella Milch-Sheriff — a deeply moving work based on a Holocaust survivor’s diary, exploring trauma, silence, and the journey toward forgiveness through hauntingly beautiful music and dramatic intensity.

Staged by renowned opera director Elizaveta Korneeva and performed by acclaimed international artists and orchestra, the festival invites audiences to discover powerful, underrepresented stories in a truly unforgettable experience. Join us for the launch of our second season — and help amplify voices too long unheard.
