Calliope's Call - There is no plan(et) B
Venue: Livestream - Boston, Massachusetts
Tickets/Info:
The New England-based vocal / art-song collective, Calliope's Call, will premiere my soprano/piano arrangement of decketh joy, water destroy, which uses Ralph Waldo Emerson's meditation on water to contemplate the meaning of water for humans in our troubled century. The work was selected along with pieces by Catarina Domenici, Andrew List, and Katie Palka for a performance in a program that focuses on the climate crisis. Grateful for the selection and to the ensemble for highlighting this issue through art!

Info: https://www.leftcoastensemble.org/call
"Responding to the safety measures required in the pandemic, Left Coast has commissioned new works conceived as long distance conversations between a piano trio and a soprano. Laura Rose Schwartz and Ryan Suleiman [The Robin, based on a poem by Lebanese-American poet Gibran Khalil Gibran] have each written a new work using a call and response model: the singer and ensemble alternate in sending each other musical postcards! Music by George Lewis and Louise Farrenc completes the program."
