But MOCRA isn’t the only arts institution exploring that possibility. In this two-part episode, MOCRA Assistant Director David Brinker speaks with Batya Abramson-Goldstein, Executive Director of the St. Louis Jewish Community Relations Council, and Timothy O’Leary, General Director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. Part 1 focuses on Opera Theatre’s 2011 production of the John Adams opera&amp;nbsp;The Death of Klinghoffer, and how that opera became a springboard for interfaith conversation and action through the arts. Listen to Part 1&amp;nbsp;of the conversation here. In Part 2, Ambramson-Goldstein and O’Leary&amp;nbsp;discuss the genesis of an interfaith September 11 memorial service, and other lasting positive consequences of the interfaith collaboration that began with The Death of Klinghoffer.&amp;nbsp; Visit the MOCRA Voices website to learn more about Batya Abramson-Goldstein and Timothy O’Leary, and to explore a Listening Guide to the conversation. &amp;nbsp; Recording Engineer and Editor:&amp;nbsp;Mike Schrand Host:&amp;nbsp;Linda Kennedy Theme and Incidental Music: Stephen James Neale Producer: David Brinker Original release date: 6/7/2014 This episode was made possible with financial support from the Regional Arts Commission.
