Seattle Modern Orchestra (SMO) explores new and historical works of Music Theatre, presenting pieces that ask performers to move, speak, and break the fourth wall. C. Neil Parsons, a self-defined “hybrid artist” joins as soloist, director, and choreographer. Bethany Younge considers composing “an act of bodily knowing”; her new work for SMO celebrates the physicality of performance, and pairs with the dystopian humor of Mauricio Kagel’s iconic Finale. Frederic Rzewski’s Moonrise with Memories will feature Parsons on bass trombone, with text by Langston Hughes, and Younge’s Orbits fills the space in Town Hall’s Great Hall with roving musicians.PROGRAM:
BETHANY YOUNGE Orbits for movement, flute, bass clarinet, trombone, and percussion extended by PVC pipe (2016)
FREDERIC RZEWSKI Moonrise with Memories (1971), featuring C. Neil Parsons, bass trombone soloist
BETHANY YOUNGE World Premiere (2024)
MAURICIO KAGEL Finale (1981)
