Fridays at 12:30 Series: Currents of Change

Currents of Change

This program explores themes of water and water rights through music. Featured performers soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon (Bard College Conservatory), violist and faculty member Sharon Wei and cellist Zachary Mowitz (LA Philharmonic) will premiere Juantio Becenti’s work based on Supreme Court rulings and Navajo water rights. Also included on the program are Nick Bernardino’s piece for cello and electronics, reflecting coral reef decline, and Ian Cusson’s solo viola work La Pieta, inspired by Kent Monkman’s painting of Indigenous water protectors.

This concert, which is part of a residency that also includes engagement with Contemporary Music Studio members, composition and graduate students, is supported by the Music Undergraduate GiftFund and the Ivey Business School.
