Program:
Sarah Quartel, She Sang the Stars (New York premiere)
Kim André Arnesen, Magnificat
Sarah Quartel’s She Sang the Stars is based on excerpts from the epic Finnish poem “The Kalevala.” The piece tells the stories of womanhood in different phases of life through three women from the Kalevala poem. The five movements of the piece are: Start Off Singing; Water-Mother; She Ran; Stealing Fire; Song of the Stars.
Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen’s setting of the Magnificat was conceived as a prayer for the sick and the poor, out of hope for those who struggle, and as a musical reflection of Mary. Described by Gramophone magazine as a genuine masterpiece, this epic work glows with soaring, beautifully melodic lines. Magnificat is performed with piano, organ, string quartet and bass.
Tickets: $25 advance $20 student/seniors advance, $30 at the door.
