ONGOING Performances & Projects
NADIA
a chamber music play by Mina Fisher
The legendary Nadia Boulanger comes to vivid and layered life— delving into her complexity, musically and personally, this play is a rare privilege to explore and share. The hybrid one-woman-play and chamber music program has intrigued and moved audiences wherever it goes.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT CHEKHOV
song and cyles of Dominick Argento
Argento's sublime voice was a gift to the world and I am privileged to have known him as a friend. This extraordinary cycle, epistolary in form (Argento was deeply attuned to literature and loved the prose and correspondence of musical and literary figures), for baritone, mezzo and piano took my breath away when I first learned it. I was deeply enamoured, and remain so at the ravishing A Few Words About Chekhov. It inspired the building the program that follows here, and led to a forthcoming recording of this work and 3 other previously unrecorded cycles of Argento. The collection, on Bridge Records, with the exquisite Jesse Blumberg and the incomparable pianists Martin Katz and JJ Penna, will be released in 2023.
NADIA
a chamber music play
THE TRIAL of SUSAN B. ANTHONY
a dramatic song cycle by Steven Mark Kohn
by Mina Fisher
Written for me for the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment, I play the role of Susan B. Anthony and four other characters who took part in her trial in 1873 for the crime of voting while being a woman. The cycle paints a clear, varied, lyrical, jaunty, irreverent, and yet solemn portrait of this fraught moment in the history of Women's Suffrage in the U.S., inviting reflection on the continued progress and devastating challenges of this country's ongoing story.
WHEN WORDS COLLIDE
a trio recital of American song
Created for baritone Andrew Garland, pianist Kelly Kuo, and me, this program was built around the Argento cycle described above, and also resulted in the commission of a setting of Whitman's To A Stranger by Edie Hill. We gave the premiere at the University of Texas in Austin, and continue to tour and expand the program. In addition to these two duets, we each perform two other cycles, including Jared Hedges stunning Nelly Bly at Blackwell's Island, Gabriel Kahane's practically canonic comic Craiglistlieder and the hilarious and irreverent Missed Connections, by Sam Krahn.
