Unheard-of presents the in-person premiere of Reiko Füting’s act: ab-stain, from. Reiko’s work is based on the composition “Da pacem, domine” by Heinrich Schütz and hymn “O frommer Christ herzlich betracht” as set by Johann Hermann Schein, both written during the Thirty Years’ War. Reiko's title references a question by Hannah Arendt, 20th century political historian and philosopher known for her work exploring the nature of power and evil. The question which appears in the last movement, “Could the activity of thinking as such be among the conditions that make humans abstain from evil-doing?”. The ensemble also performs CCI premieres by Zachary Bell, Zachary Ritter, and Brandon Kaplan.
Opening the concert, Fr. Dennis Schafer from the mission joins us to perform Homage a Manuel de Falla by Bela Kovacs and the "Romance" and “Fughetta" movements from Finzi's Five Bagatelles.
