Composer, vocalist, and producer Lisa Bielawa is set to return to The Stone at The New School in New York.

From Nov. 2 to Nov. 5, 2022, Bielawa will take up her third residency. The vocalist will sing in several of the concerts with additional performers including The Parhelion Trio on Nov. 2; soprano Ariadne Greif, baritone Peter Stewart, and pianist Andrea Christie, with Bielawa on Nov. 3; mezzo-soprano Leandra Ramm, pianist Michael Delfin, and violist Oriana Hawley with Bielawa on voice and piano on Nov. 4; and violinist and vocalist Rebecca Fischer, Anthony Hawley doing recitation, violist Oriana Hawley, and flutist Ilaria Hawley, with Bielawa on November 5.

This year’s series takes audiences on a unique journey across time and gives insight into Bielawa’s process. The performances will showcase work that highlights Bielawa’s deep appreciation for intriguing moments in the histories of lesser-known people, places, and events.

In a statement Bielawa said, “[La] Ballonniste is a brand-new adventure that is launching with great hope, as my first large-scale live project in over two years. Centuries in the Hours received the Opera America grant on March 12, 2020, also just as the world was locking down. But [the performers premiering the song cycle] recorded it during the Omicron surge and the film version was a direct response to lockdown conditions. In fact, librettist Claire [Solomon] and I realized that the very subject matter was reflective of lockdown conditions, (i.e. American history seen through the eyes of women mostly restricted to the domestic sphere). And finally, the last evening is a celebration of my personal Pandemic Bubble, the gift of having an entire family of musician-artists near me who helped sustain me artistically through the whole 2-1/2 years.”
