SUMMARY:Equinox
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is pleased to present Variant 6 performing their program Equinox. \nServing as the centerpiece for this program is Philadelphia composer Benjamin C.S. Boyle’s first Cantata: To One in Paradise. The poem “To One is Paradise” is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe dating from his mature poetic period that features many of the poet’s favorite themes: young love\, divinity\, and death. The Cantata – composed 20 years ago by Boyle – will be performed in an all-new transcription by the composer for four vocal soloists of Variant 6 and pianist Laura Ward. In addition to Boyle’s work\, we will perform works by Brahms and Fauré for voices and piano on themes of love\, loss\, and darkness. \nPROGRAM \nGabriel Fauré:\nMadrigal\nPuisqu’ici-bas toute âme\nPleurs d’Or\nLes Djinns \nJohannes Brahms:\nDie Meere\nSpätherbst\nO Schöne Nacht \nBenjamin C.S. Boyle:\nTo One in Paradise \nVariant 6: \nRebecca Myers\, soprano\nLauren Kelly\, mezzo-soprano\nJames Reese\, tenor\nDaniel Schwartz\, bass \nLaura Ward\, piano \n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nVariant 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.\nvariantsix.com \n\n\n  \n\n

SUMMARY:David Hughes: Schubertiade
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is pleased to present Philadelphia based piano virtuoso David Hughes performing a “Schubertiade” – a program that explores the music and spirit of Franz Schubert alongside work by contemporary composers inspired by his music. Victor Hugo famously wrote that “forty is the old age of youth\, fifty the youth of old age.” This program\, offered on the occasion of Hughes’ own 40th birthday\, emphasizes the coexistence of past and future\, a constant search for meaning\, and the eternal\, intense introspection emblematic of Schubert’s music. \n\nPROGRAM \nHelmut Lachenmann: Schubert Variations (1956)\nLee Hoiby: Schubert Variations\, op. 35 (1981)\nFranz Schubert: Impromptu in A-flat Major\, D. 935 no. 2\nEdison Denisov: Variations on a Theme by Schubert (1986) with Thomas Kraines\, cello\nSchubert: Gretchen am Spinnrade\, D. 118 with Anaïs Naharro-Murphy\, soprano\nEric Wubbels: gretchen am spinnrade (2016) with Thomas Kraines\, cello\nSchubert: Sonata in B-Flat\, D. 960 \n\nABOUT THE ARTIST \nDavid Hughes has performed at the Kennedy Center\, Amsterdam’s Muziekgebouw and the Spanish Embassy in Washington\, DC. He has been featured on Philadelphia’s WRTI radio station in an hour-long segment of solo repertoire. He can also be heard playing four different keyboard instruments on John Zorn’s violin concerto\, “Contes de Fées\,” on the Tzadik label. He is a founding member of Arcana New Music Ensemble\, a Philadelphia-based ensemble dedicated to presenting concerts of modern and lesser-known music. Mr. Hughes has a strong interest in contemporary music and received third prize in the Gaudeamus Interpreters Competition—one of the world’s premier competitions for modern music—as a member of Outer Banks Duo with saxophonist Stacy Wilson. This was followed by the release of their debut CD\, L’Incandescence. He is also a past recipient of a fellowship to the Tanglewood Music Center and a prizewinner in the MTNA National Chamber Music Competition. He holds a doctoral degree in piano performance from Indiana University.
