SARAH HENNIES CONTRALTO (2017) (West Coast Premiere)

Sept 13 &14, 2018 | 7:30

PICA, 15 NE Hancock St 

Sarah Hennies’ look at transfeminine identify blurs the lines between music, sight, sound, perception, and self. Trans, gender nonconforming, and non-binary people have for too long been forced into silence and secrets. It seems appropriate that as more listeners are finally being receptive to their truths, we should begin to listen more deeply to the voices conveying those truths.

Orpheus Unsung

February 20 & 21, 7:30pm
Holocene

Grammy award winning composer Steven Mackey does not wield a lyre, but instead crafts the tale of Orpheus’ journey through the Underworld with rock guitar contortions, while Jason Treuting (So Percussion) wordlessly sets scenes and soliloquies with a wide ranges of percussive techniques. Guitar and percussion take the audience through an evocative musical encounter with life, love and loss; from Orpheus and Eurydice’s wedding, the death of Eurydice, and then to the deep dive down into the underworld.
