Words + Music
We at c:n are excited to feature "Juliet Letters" by Elvis Costello, a song sequence for string quartet and voice. Between classical and rock opera, this piece creates a new unique sound scape for strings and voice based on letters sent to Juliet Capulet care of the Verona post office. Like concert:nova this work defies classification. Other works on the program are: Ned Rorem "After Reading Shakespeare", Michael Fiday "Nine Haiku" based on the haiku of Basho, Eric McIntyre's "A Visit from the White Rabbit" inspired by three poems of Lewis Carroll, and Oswaldo Golijov's moving "There Was Wind and There Were Ashes in the Wind", off texts of Elie Wiesel.
Join narrator Naomi Lewin, singer Julie Spangler and musicians of concert:nova for an unforgettable evening of Words and Music.
