emily levin performs Mythos in Ottawa

A unique program of works for solo and duo harp, including two Canadian premieres!

bachstro plutaños saarigeti* for two harps and electronics - Gabriel José Bolaños

Two amplified harps interacting with real-time signal processing, designed and cued live by the composer... improvisation of harp and voice... no performance the same.

Mythos* for solo harp - Michael Ippolito

Emily Levin, harp

in between us, a sea for solo harp, voice, and electronics - Andrew Staniland

Michelle Gott, harp

Solo harp journeys into labyrinths of land and sea... using fx guitar pedals and live vocal looping to create entirely new sonic textures

INTERMISSION

Freude for two amplified harps and voice - Karlheinz Stockhausen

A whirlwind of unhinged virtuosity: two amplified harps, both musicians singing in an ancient language, and sounds that you've never heard emanate from this instrument.
* Canadian Premiere

San Antonio Philharmonic performs Nocturne

San Antonio Philharmonic

Ludwig Carrasco, conductor
Crystal Jarrell Johnson, mezzo-soprano
San Antonio Mastersingers

This program explores art and poetry through music with conductor Ludwig Carrasco, who was recently appointed Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico. Texas State University’s Michael Ippolito’s Nocturne was inspired by Joan Miro’s 1940 painting of the same name. Ippolito studied composition with our next composer, John Corigliano, at The Juilliard School. Corigliano’s Fern Hill, featuring UTSA’s Crystal Jarrell Johnson and the San Antonio Mastersingers, reflects on the eponymous poem by Dylan Thomas. Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition famously takes the listener on a sensory tour of ten paintings through an art exhibition.
