A unique vocal program featuring poetry by the famed Garcia Lorca presented in past and modern pieces. Combined with the timelessness of Romantic Lied, this program aims to bring Spanish and Romantic music to life through modern programming.
This program will feature the collaboration of the captivating young soprano Sydney Carbo alongside the one-of-a-kind guitar and piano duo, The Muse Duo. The pieces will utilize the talents of each artist in combination; soprano/guitar, soprano/piano, and soprano/guitar/piano.
Alongside the repertoire, there will be a newly commissioned work by the composer Luke Benedict that implements the text of Garcia Lorca and is written for soprano, guitar, and piano. This will be the centerpiece of the program, highlighting the modern ensemble.
Through Spanish and Romantic vocal repertoire, a unique setting of instruments, and a premiere composition written for the ensemble, this is a rare and engaging modern program that adds to the canon of vocal and chamber repertoire.
