Music/Words continues its fourth season on Sunday, April 22, 2012, at 6:00 pm with a performance at New York’s Cornelia Street Cafe featuring Inna Faliks alongside guest Clarice Assad at the piano along with soprano Samantha Malk and poet Irina Mashinski. *NEW as of April 21: Read the preview article in Sequenza21.* It includes readings by poets Vera Pavlova and Verzhyna Mort. The following Music/Words performance is sponsored by the Poetry Foundation, and takes place at Curtiss Hall, 410 South Michigan Ave. The Eaton song cycle is set to the poetry by Auden, Blackmur, Wallace Stevens, and W.B Yeats, and Sandra’s lucid and fresh voice completes the link between then and now. The Barnard Women Poets Prize winning poet Sandra Beasley‘s poetry will be read by the author in between the pieces. It serves as the link between Eaton and Beethoven sound worlds. This poetic shimmering piece uses Beethoven’s Ostinato from the 7th Symphony, and explores its rhythmic and harmonic elements in a hypnotic, colorful fantasy. I will play Beethoven (work TBA), and also Fantasia on an Ostinato by John Corigliano. This performance at LPR includes the world premiere of the powerful song cycle for baritone and piano by John Eaton, “Songs of Nature and Beyond”, with the wonderful baritone David Adam Moore. I am very excited about the Music/Words 5th Season opening on September 23rd, at 7:30 pm at New York City’s Le Poisson Rouge (tickets here).
