Bowerbird is pleased to present Variant 6 at University Lutheran Church.

Variant 6 presents Hologram, in a program that explores the unique scope of light and color created by an exquisite blend of low voices. For the first time, the ensemble’s tenors and basses alone come together to create a warm and sonorous soundworld, from the rich beauty of Francis Poulenc and Franz Schubert to the lush contemporary voices of Joanna Marsh, Joanne Metcalf, and Salvatore Sciarrino.

This program is co-curated by Rebecca Myers and James Reese

featuring:
James Reese, tenor
Michael Jones, tenor
Harrison Hintzsche, baritone
Daniel Schwartz, bass
Paul Max Tipton, bass

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Variant 6 explores the expressive potential of the human voice through vocal chamber music that is at once virtuosic, poignant, and approachable. Composed of artists with a diverse set of skills and a wide range of expertise, we seek out repertoire that embodies this potential. We collaborate with artists of many disciplines, creating refreshing interpretations of music of the past and innovative premieres of new works. Our concerts are unique and intimate musical experiences that foster deep conversation between artists and audience.

Variant 6 shares our unique take on vocal chamber music with people all over the city of Philadelphia. Our approachable and collaborative projects create an environment where audiences of different backgrounds will feel inspired to attend our events, respond to our music, and get to know us as individuals.
