Shriver Hall Concert Series’ is set to present the East Coast premiere of Sasha Cooke’s new, recital-length project “how do i find you” with pianist Kirill Kuzmin.

The recital which is set to be presented on Sunday, March 6, 2022, is a concert curated by Cooke which explores experiences and themes of America today, including California wildfires, school shootings, working from home, race, nature, and resilience through new works. Among the composers that are featured on the concert are Timo Andres, Lembit Beecher, Matt Boehler, Christopher Cerrone, John Glover, Gabriel Kahane, Jimmy López, Andrew Marshall, Missy Mazzoli, Nico Muhly, Rene Orth, Frances Pollack, Hilary Purrington, Huang Ruo, Kamala Sankaram, Caroline Shaw, and Joel Thompson.

Cooke said in a statement, “The only common thread is that these gifted creators were given carte blanche to create what spoke most to them during this time. The freedom afforded by this unique common thread lends each piece a sense of immediacy and authenticity, offering listeners a chance to find songs that resonate with their own recent lives. I chose to feature composers in their 40s or younger; the juxtaposition of their varied works is an apt reflection of the way we’ve all had to manage daily life while confronting existential threats. This approach is an experiment in liberation, inspired by a time in which so many of us have looked into the mirror, or at our loved ones on a computer screen, and wondered: Is this real life? Who are you now? How do I find you?”

The mezzo recently released an album of the same name on Pentatone.
