Inspiration and memory abound in this program’s four eclectic works.Anthony De Ritis’ Jiggedy Jingle Jaunty Jaunty, a world premiere performance for orchestra and electronics, reveres 20th-century giants James Joyce and Luciano Berio through a dialogue that stretches across time.
#BMOP welcomes soprano Julia Bullock for Samuel Barber’s iconic Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a setting of James Agee’s 1938 prose whose childlike recollection of a summer evening remains one of Barber’s most beloved creations. Ms. Bullock also performs two movements from Matthew Aucoin’s The No One’s Rose, settings of poems by Paul Celan that explore memory, language, and loss.
The evening concludes with Charles Wuorinen’s Delight of the Muses, an homage to Mozart from material borrowed from the opera Don Giovanni. By turns outlandish, sentimental, and a rousing good time, this ballet shows the legendary American composer at his irreverent best.
