Bowerbird is pleased to present Audra performing an evening of music for voice and saxophone, with repertoire including Meredith Monk’s Hocket for Two Voices, two moody folk-song arrangements by Karin Rehnqvist, and Cecilia McDowall’s dramatic White Fox Woman. Three pieces make up the center of this program: Thomas Kessler’s Is it? Philippe Leroux Un lieu verdoyant, and Gelsey Bell’s Avatrix. All three treat the voice and saxophone like a hyper-instrument, creating a new, hybrid sound out of the two performers.
