Concert | New Sounds: Missy Mazzoli / Nico Muhly / Paola Prestini


This concert will feature a series of choral works by Nico Muhly performed by the Trinity Wall Street more Chorus conducted by Trinity's Director of Music and the Arts, Julian Wachner. Also on the bill are Missy Mazzoli (composer, keyboards, electronics) and Nadia Sirota (viola, voice) presenting a set of Mazzoli's recent and newly arranged works for viola, keyboards, electronics and voice. This enthralling set includes Tooth and Nail, a new work for viola and electronics that premiered as part of the Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Hall last spring (presented here in a new arrangement that features the composer on keyboards), as well as A Thousand Tongues, a dizzying volley of sampled piano chords that reverberate under Sirota's frenetic viola playing and plaintive singing voice. Mazzoli has also arranged Orizzonte and Like a Miracle, two works originally for her ensemble Victoire, for this new, pared down duo. Rounding out the program is Paola Prestiniâ's House of Solitude: a Poet's Labyrinth (2011) - music for amplified violin, KBOW, electronics, video, and lighting. House of Solitude places the violinist as the poet in the labyrinth of life. Inspired by the writings of German poet Friedrich Holderlin (1779-1843), the work hovers between the poles of the essential human predicaments. This tension throws the poet back into nature as inspiration and solitude as the context of life. Labyrinth embraces the cutting-edge technology of the K-Bow, an invention by famed instrument designer (and ZETA inventor) Keith McMillan. less
