Percussionist

For Lindsay Rider, this program has been over a decade in the making. This is the story of a girl born into a musical family who found joy in singing and enjoyed the beginnings of a fabulous performing career. Then, something unexpected happened which would change her trajectory. In the following years, she would struggle with heartbreak, grapple with tough realizations and eventually find her way into her joy again, this time better than ever before. Through music that spans decades and genres, come experience an evening of musical storytelling that will leave your feet tapping and your heart full.

Based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea is an opera by Paola Prestini, Royce Vavrek and Karmina Šilec that presents a dual track of storytelling by combining the Hemingway text with original portraits of quotidian life to create a look at aging, legacy, and our relationship to oceans. The work includes longtime collaborators/muses of Prestini’s including Jeffrey Zeigler as the featured cellist. The cast includes a choir, and brings to life the seminal characters: Santiago, Manolin, and the wife, recast as La Virgen del Cobre, a goddess in Santería, the Afro-Caribbean faith, who was found floating on a wooden board off the coast of eastern Cuba in 1628. Themes of baseball, ecology, religion, and economy paint a conflict between progress and tradition, craft passion and exploitation, ultimately shedding contemporary perspectives on this timeless tale.
