Marginalia- Matt Boehler
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT- To join a waiting list, please email contact@victoryhallopera.org
Books can be hiding places for precious objects, presses for delicate flowers, or message boards from one lover to another. As time passes, a book may change hands, and the secret contents remain within to be discovered later. Sometimes much later.
In 2016, UVA Library began the Book Traces project: to document objects and written material found in library books from the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
In 2017, based on the remarkable Book Traces collection, Victory Hall Opera commissioned award-winning composer Matt Boehler to write a new song cycle, weaving together a dialog that speaks to Charlottesville today, and to Charlottesville as it has been before.
Join us in the stunning McGregor Room at Alderman Library, and hear this remarkable piece for the first time.
Featuring Miriam Gordon-Stewart, Brenda Patterson and Will Ferguson, with Garrick Zoeter (Clarinets) and I-jen Fang (Percussion)
