TWO PERFORMANCES:
Aug 22nd at 7PM & Aug 23rd at 3:30PM
Sonder (n.) — A term coined by John Koenig in The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, describing the profound realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — filled with their own ambitions, routines, worries, and unseen stories
Inspired by the definition above, this program alternates between the voice of the individual and the response of the many. At the core lies a fight to be understood, and the gradual emergence of compassion through imagination.
Taking place at the Chorus Public House, Sonder features a string sextet plus voice, sitting in a circle at the center of the room. Book-ended by two original compositions by Micah Behr, the program moves through works that span decades including compositions by Handel, Brahms, Ligeti, Satie, Dutilleux and Caroline Shaw.
Musicians:
Sarah Brailey, Voice
Vini Sant’ana, Violin
Madlen Breckbil, violin
Micah Behr, viola
Laila Zakzook, viola
Phil Bergman, cello
Aaron Fried, cello
Samtalä | Musicians in Dialogue, is a chamber music project rooted in musical dialogue — between instruments, artists, space, and listener. Every performance is a meeting of ideas, voices, and shared presence.
History:
Samtalä is the evolution of the Stoughton Chamber Music Festival, which began in 2019 in Stoughton, Wisconsin, a town rich in Norwegian heritage. Through it’s name, ‘Samtalä’ gives a nod to where it began while opening space for growth beyond the summer season and beyond Stoughton itself.
Focus:
Samtalä creates innovative concert experiences that explore novel combinations of established, contemporary, and newly commissioned works. Through chamber music concerts and interactive children’s concerts, Samtalä participates in the evolving landscape of classical music while centering the experience of our community of listeners and musicians.
