Symbiosis: feat. Ryan Suleiman, the Fourth Wall, Sakura & Rose Duo, & David Russell
Symbiosis is a collaboration between composer Ryan Suleiman, performance artist C. Neil Parsons, and his colleagues from the Fourth Wall Ensemble. Also included in the project are soprano Rose Hegele, pianist Sakurako Kanemitsu, and cellist David Russell. The concert will feature all original works by Suleiman, including two world premieres. In a collaboration which acknowledges and embraces the inherent theatricality of musical performance, Parsons and the Fourth Wall Ensemble serve as performers and theatrical directors in an otherwise “concert-music” program—a talent they’ve developed in their own work for well over a decade.

The Egyptian zodiac (List), imagined sounds from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (Epstein), and colors and movement of artist Peter London’s drawings (Suleiman, Three London Etudes) are some of the sources of inspiration on offer in this dynamic program. Experience our multi-faceted world through the filter of the piano.
