Baruch Performing Arts Center presents Sounds New Chamber Music Series curated by Laura Falzon and produced by John Malatesta.
Christina Ascher, contralto; Laura Falzon, flute; and Laura Barger, piano.
A vibrant program of compositions of the 20th and 21st centuries where voices and ever more voices – earthly, ethereal, mythical, narrating, singing, laughing, chirping and always full of life – call to one another, lure, narrate and reflect human and animal experience. Snail meets Siren, Water Spirit meets Sparrow, Voice meets Voice.
Features the world premiere of Siren’s Song by New York composer Theodore Wiprud.
Program: Berio Luciano: Sequenza III for solo voice; Dmitri Smirnov: Six Haiku
Theodore Wiprud: Sirens’ Song*; Mark Carlson: Night Will Blossom; Toru Takemitsu: Voice for solo flute; John Cage: Sonata for two voices; Bojidar Spassov: Otletela preperuga—The Pierides VI (*World Premiere).
