Grammy winner Julia Bullock hails from St. Louis and is among the leading operatic sopranos singing today. Pianist Conor Hanick hails from Iowa City and is among the most inquisitive interpreters of music new and old. The two come together to perform Messiaen’s heartrending Harawi, an hour-long song cycle inspired by Quechua (an indigenous Andean language of Perú and Bolivia) poetry.
Says Bullock of the piece: “Harawi explores dichotomies: life and death, pain and joy, spirituality and sensuality, sacrifice and preservation, fulfillment and loss. Messiaen seems to be asking from a place of personal grief: how do you stay connected to someone you loved while the accumulated memories of your relationship begin to fade or drift? How do you recover and move on?”
Audience will be seated on stage with the artists throughout the performance.
