Composer, performer and multidisciplinary artist Paul Pinto teams up with the contemporary treble voice quartet Opera News calls “the Anonymous 4 of new music” for the world premiere of “The Approach” at Kaufman Music Center. Pinto’s new song cycle is a high-intensity Surrealist love story that showcases Quince Ensemble’s virtuosic experimental vocalism with tight harmonies and witty, rapid-fire text. Influenced by female choruses of 1960s soul, feminist protest anthems and feminized A.I. assistants, “The Approach” begins with four women meeting a mysterious sailor on the subway, and discovering love on their quixotic meanderings through subterranean NYC, past lives and dream worlds.
