Experience the New York premiere of Ted Hearne’s Dorothea, a Carnegie Hall co-commissioned song cycle by an artist “among the most adventurous creative forces in contemporary music today” (The Nation). These direct and poignant songs color the pathos-ridden, darkly funny work of poet Dorothea Lasky with rhapsodic textures, a synth-pop veneer, and charismatic duets with Hearne and acclaimed vocalist and electronic artist Eliza Bagg.

Ted Hearne: Dorothea

Carnegie Hall

In this third concert in a series exploring complex social issues, frequent guest Giancarlo Guerrero leads American composer Julia Wolfe’s BSO co-commissioned Her Story, featuring the Lorelei Ensemble women’s vocal group. Originally commissioned to commemorate the centenary of women’s right to vote in the U.S., the piece broadly speaks of the continuing struggle for women’s rights. The three movements of Polish composer Henryk Górecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs movingly contemplates the anguish of the separation of a mother from her child.

Boston Symphony Hall

The adventurous Pekka Kuusisto, who successfully premiered Daníel Bjarnason’s Violin Concerto at the Hollywood Bowl 2019, returns as the protagonist for the recent piece by the prolific Nico Muhly, conducted by the one-and-only Esa-Pekka Salonen. Kuusisto also collaborates on this program with composer and sound artist Ellen Reid (p r i s m), who will share some of her own extraordinary music.
