SIUE is proud to welcome renowned actor and playwright Sylvia Milo for a live performance of “The Other Mozart,” at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at Dunham Hall Theater, as part of SIUE’s Arts & Issues series.
On this week’s episode of Segue, SIUE’s premier radio show that discusses the lives and work of the people on campus and beyond, Greg Budzban, PhD, College of Arts and Sciences dean, discusses Milo’s career in theater and what inspired her to create, write and produce “The Other Mozart.”
The play explores the history of Maria Anna “Nannerl" Mozart, sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "These children traveled together as child prodigies,” Milo says. “From the beginning, there were always two children. She was five years older, and was actually billed first on the concert advertisements and played better at first. It is shocking that she was erased from history."
This episode of Segue will air at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18, on WSIE 88.7 FM The Sound.
