VIEW THE PROGRAM

Schubert invites us into Goethe's expansive pantheism and offers three ideas of the mortal relationship to omnipotence in Ganymed, Prometheus, and Grenzen der Menschheit. Conrad Winslow's Viewing Rooms projects three gay poets within dissimilar chambers: C.P. Cavafy, writing at the turn of the 20th Century in his sealed off room, Tennessee Williams tests his desire in a 1950s bedroom, and Garth Greenwell fantasizes of the seemingly limitless  possibilities within a French nightclub in 2012. Mozart's Per questa bella mano is pure indulgence, a passionate love song for the unlikely combination of bass voice and double bass solo. Ned Rorem's War Scenes sets excerpts of Walt Whitman's Civil War diaries in music that matches the poet's sensual yet unflinching description of war's toll on the human body. Hugo Wolf sculpts three of Michelangelo Buonarotti's sonnets in music at times triumphant, desolate, and erotic in his unparalleled Michelangelo Lieder.
