CONCERT III: "SOUND ME OUT"
For its season finale, Seattle Modern Orchestra presents American composer and Guggenheim fellow Kate Soper with two works for soprano and ensemble, including a world premiere of a new ensemble version of her 2012 piece, now is forever: I. Orpheus and Eurydice for soprano and orchestra, written for SMO. Now is forever, on a text by Jorie Graham, explores a discrete moment that perceptually has expended in time. Door (2007) for soprano, flute, saxophone, electric guitar and accordion accompanied by text written by Martha Collins exudes a wide emotional range from buoyant and playful to dark and moody. The finale concert will also include two Seattle premieres from celebrated Italian composer Fausto Romitelli and Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Hass. Romitelli's Blood on the floor, Painting 1986 (2000) emphasizes the violent and destructive aspect of the projection of reality into fiction and named after the Francis Bacon painting. Friedrich Haas's Monodie for 18 instruments weaves the melodic narrative through the fabric of a virtuosic and highly focused ensemble sound, effectively turning the ensemble into a virtual solo instrument.
