Brooklyn Art Song Society to Present Departures II

By Francisco Salazar

The Brooklyn Art Song Society will continue “The New Voices Festival: Departures” on May 2 at the First Unitarian Church of Brooklyn. The program will explore the meaning of loss.

Katherine Balch’s “Estrangement” will be a reimagining of Schumann’s “Dichterliebe,” while Aida Shirazi’s “Language of Loss” will get its world premiere. The piece explores exile and features texts by poet Sholeh Wolpe.

The program will also feature the first performance of Matthew Ricketts’ complete “The Threefold Terror of Love” on texts by W.B Yeats with a newly commissioned song. The final piece in the concert will be Charlotte Bray’s “The Earth Cried Out to the Sky.”

Soloists will include Lucy Fitz-Gibbon, Charlotte Mundy, Emily Triebold, and Dominik Belavy. Nathaniel LaNasa, Brent Funderburk, and Ryan McCullough will perform on piano.
