Boston area friends: it gives me great pleasure to invite you to the US premiere of Salvatore Sciarrino's seminal "Quaderno di Strada", with baritone Tyler Bouque, the Alinéa Ensemble and me at the podium. Also on the program works by Isang Yun and Betsy Jolas, performed by members of Steve Drury's [nec]shivaree.
Alinéa gives the US Premiere of Salvatore Sciarrino’s expansive “Quaderno di Strada” for baritone and chamber orchestra. Accompanied by projected photography of urban street scenes that compliment the variety of texts and collage effect of Sciarrino’s “Notebook”, the premiere highlights Alinéa as an ensemble of soloists in a forty-five minute journey from extreme sound to extremely fragile silence. Conducted by Stratis Minakakis at New England Conservatory’s Brown Hall.
