This afternoon’s program celebrates the creative process with the live premiere of John Estacio’s Domestic Divertimento, a work created and digitally premiered to international acclaim during the pandemic. We also premiere Cecilia Livingston’s song cycle Breath Alone, based on text by Canadian poet and novelist Anne Michaels, and sung by soprano Rachel Krehm. Rachmaninoff’s sumptuous Second Symphony completes the program, which we guarantee will be a feast for your ears!

Livingston & Rachmaninoff

Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts

Throughout the centuries we have been captivated by stories of legendary partnerships, people who were simply meant for each other. Experience two masterpieces depicting generational love and friendship. Puccini’s immortal La Bohème tells the story of the love between Rodolfo and Mimi, and Martinů’s astonishing Epic of Gilgamesh chronicles the mythological adventures of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, two true best friends challenging the gods.
