Aardvark continues its historic 45th season April 7 at MIT Kresge Auditorium with the premiere of Mark Harveyโs latest work Faces of Souls. The piece is inspired by the Charles Ives composition Boston Common and the Augustus Saint-Gaudens statue commemorating Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, heroes of the Civil War. Other Mark Harvey originals will include The Journey (honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. and the struggle for civil rights); Blue Butterfly (remembering the legendary storyteller Brother Blue); and No Walls, Aardvarkโs anthem of hope and inclusivity
