FANNY’S JOURNEY AND PRESENTING PRINCESS SHAW
The Museum of Fine Arts is offering a nice double bill with Fanny’s Journey and Presenting Princess Shaw on March 12th.
Fanny’s Journey (Le Voyage de Fanny) takes its inspiration from the memoir written by Fanny Ben-Ami who, at the age of twelve, led a group of children across occupied France during the Second World War.
Presenting Princess Shaw is a documentary that will have you singing. There have been odd musical pairings in the past but PPS takes it to a social media high when New Orleans-based singer Samantha Montgomery (writing and performing as Princess Shaw) posts her songs to her YouTube channel to have them be discovered by Israeli composer Kutiman.
Strangers 7,000 miles from each other, they begin to collaborate. Just wait until you see what happens when Princess Shaw travels to Israel to perform.
Fanny’s Journey will play at 1:00 PM. Presenting Princess Shaw follows at 3:00 PM.
