Binna Kim’s work “Stacked Emotions” is music that imagines a conversation - at times, an argument, other times, an agreement - between two individuals, such as a married couple. And she enhances the music by setting the text of 19th-Century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
And, we’ll hear music by Nico Muhly that draws upon and blends together English and Latin texts from the 12th to 18th centuries. It’s titled “Hymns for Private Use,” and it’s a collection of five spiritual songs for voice and wind quintet.
Plus music by Elijah Daniel Smith, Adam Schoenberg, Carlos Simon, Gity Razaz, Jessica Rudman, and others; and performances by GHOSTLIGHT Chorus and Chelsea Music Festival Strings, Cellist Claire Bryant, pianist Eunmi Ko, saxophonist Julian Velasco, clarinetist Andy Hudson, vocalist Shara Nova with the Akropolis Reed Quintet, and more.
Hour 2
- Animus by Elijah Daniel Smith.
- Jessica Rudman’s Twisted Blue.
- Hymns for Private Use by Nico Muhly.
- Helen Grime’s Virga.
