Responding to the forced separation and longing for connection we all experienced during Covid-19 pandemic, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble commissioned works conceived as long distance conversations between a piano trio and a soprano. Laura Rose Schwartz and Ryan Suleiman each contributed a new piece using a call and response model— the singer and ensemble alternate in sending each other musical postcards! It is intended that the work can be successfully performed either together or remotely.
Music by Olivier Messiaen and Louise Farrenc completes the program.
