Girl from the 905

Girl From the 905 is a genre-busting presentation from a powerhouse operatic team working within their usual roles, but completely outside the lines. A classical score that rattles alive with electronic textures, performed completely raw and unfiltered by a classical trained soprano, rooted in an auto-biographical story of women living between the lines in a multi-cultural family, who come to accept and love themselves for who they are.

Villiers Quartet performs 'String Quartet No. 1'

  • JDP Music Building, St. Hilda's College (Oxford, UK) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The second of the Villiers Quartet’s Late Schubert Series pairs the great Austrian composer’s ‘Death and the Maiden’ with three recent pieces by women composers. St Hilda's music student Ariana Pethard’s ‘The Dance of Persephone’ has been commissioned especially for this concert as a response to ‘Death and the Maiden’, with the composer playing the piano part. It's also a rare opportunity to hear Alisa Dixon's fascinating song cycle 'The Spirit of Love'; her strikingly dissonant harmonic language, reminiscent in places of Fauré, Bartók and Britten, is used to convey dark and conflicting emotions.

Program:

Vivian Fung, String Quartet No. 1 (2004)
Ariana Pethard, The Dance of Persephone for piano and string quartet (wp)
Alisa Dixon, The Spirit of Love — 3 Songs for soprano and string quartet (2020)
Schubert, String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810 (Death and the Maiden)

The Muse

The Muse, a multimedia recital program, will lead the audience through masterpieces by transcendent female composers such as Clara Schumann, Ethel Smyth, and Nadia Boulanger. These women transformed classical music in their time, while also acting as mentors and educators, thereby redefining the usual definition of the word ‘muse’. This program not only celebrates their groundbreaking contributions but gives their legacies contemporary resonance. A deeply personal journey, The Muse focuses on new works, too, beginning with music by Philippe Quint’s mother, the celebrated composer Lora Kvint, and also featuring pieces by other pre-eminent female performers/composers of our time, including Lera Auerbach, Vivian Fung, and Errollyn Wallen. The musical selections, interwoven with writings by Sappho, Anne Finch, Clara Schumann, Nadia Boulanger, and Lera Auerbach, offer a rich tapestry of music, poetry, and personal narratives.

World Premiere of 'Lamenting Earth' with Nicholas Phan, Jasper String Quartet, and Myra Huang

Vivian Fung is collaborating with the Jasper String Quartet, tenor Nicholas Phan, and pianist Myra Huang, on the creation of a new song cycle, Lamenting Earth. The project is a half-evening length song cycle, approximately 30 minutes, for tenor, string quartet, and piano. The work centers around poet Claire Wahmanholm’s prize-winning poem “O,” which took second place at the Academy of American Poets’ inaugural Treehouse Climate Action Poem Prize. The poem is described by the judges as “an original and powerful evocation, using a single letter of the alphabet to name the wonders that are at risk of being no more…The voice is prophetic and unrelenting: a lament, an elegy, and a clarion call to action!”

Celebrate the close of the Grossman Ensemble’s 2023/24 season at an after-party with the artists.
