David MacIntyre is a composer based in Vancouver, Canada, hailed by the Vancouver Sun as a "new opera pioneer" . He has written over one hundred works for instruments and voices, either working alone or in collaboration with other artists.
David MacIntyre's catalogue features opera, music theatre, choral and chamber music, art song, instrumental theatre, site-specific performance and music integrated with dance and theatre projects. His music has been performed and broadcast throughout Canada and the United States as well as throughout the world.
Dedicated to the creation of music for the stage, David MacIntyre has collaborated with some of Canada's most intriguing artists, playwrights and choreographers and he has created operas on words by writers Jean Anouilh,Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning
On Radio Songs:
"As a composer who loves singers, I'm always looking for words that matter and I've found them in Robin Blaser's short, elegant poems. His words leap from the page and invade hearts and minds in equal measure. A capella for three singers (the beginnings of a crowd), "Radio Songs" are clarity amidst the chaos, pure and simple, transmission and reception without a connecting wire.
The performers, mezzo soprano Fabiana Katz, soprano Catherine Laub, and tenor William George, each have unquestionably diverse and successful careers and are extremely excited to be bringing David's Radio Songs to Roedde House.
This concert is part of the monthly Second Sunday Concert Series, taking place on the 2nd Sunday of each month, in the afternoon. Come at 1pm, for Tea and Tour before the concert (included in the price of the ticket), or show up right before 3pm for the concert, at your convenience!
6-ticket passes are also available for $50 on brownpapertickets.com and at the museum directly.
