Last winter, more than 130 artists applied to create new operas with OTSL. Ultimately, just three multi-genre teams were selected by a panel of St. Louis artists, advocates, and community leaders. Now, those three teams are about to prove just how innovative, inclusive, and fun opera can be.

In Passions Revealed, the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra takes you on a journey that dives into the rich, evocative, and stirring emotions found in works by Fasch, Locatelli, Vivaldi, Marais, Telemann, and Bach. 

The program explores a wide variety of colours and affects. We open with a rousing Fasch overture that conveys confidence and fearlessness. The strings are then featured in a hauntingly beautiful and wistful concerto grosso by Locatelli. A restless but ultimately hopeful journey through the night, from dusk to dawn, follows in Vivaldi's programmatic La Notte. We close the first half with a gorgeous celebration of love in the chaconne from Marais’s opera Alcyone.

Angola Prison is the largest and one of the most notorious prisons in the United States, built into a slave plantation that Louisiana bought in 1901. It has also been the most musically significant. Harbert’s wor chronicles dozens of musicians and bands over 120 years, showing how music is a vital resource for prisoners. That resource, however, is conditional, as the administration uses music in many ways. The history of this musical dialogue offers a unique perspective on incarceration, politics, and the development of music in the twentieth-century American South. The lecture will highlight the musical, political, and intellectual role of jazz in the prison, from the 1950s through the 1960s.

Between 1898 and 1925, Linda Bell Free Wardwell sold thirty thousand booklets entitled Plan of Study on Musical History. Designed to facilitate programming by members of the National Federation of Music Clubs, Wardwell’s pamphlets were adopted by women’s organizations from Magnolia, Arkansas, to Silver City, New Mexico. Her offerings contributed to the canonization of European composers in the United States, but they also supported the Federation’s advocacy of American music. This talk positions Wardwell’s publications within contemporary American musical historiography. It explores the ways in which women’s historical activities within the club movement influenced—and yet were overshadowed by—more mainstream publications authored by men.

Together, Holmes and Ellis will perform a selection of original songs and Southern standards. The concert will be followed by a Q&A session and a reception with refreshments. Hosted by Washington University voice faculty member Candice Ivory.

Saxophonist, composer and educator Kendrick Smith was born and raised in East St. Louis, IL. Smith began playing in grade school, developing his skills much earlier than many musicians. His talents would be further shaped in high school by studying with legendary baritone saxophonist and founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet Hamiet Bluiett. Following his study at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville under the tutelage of pianist Reggie Thomas, Smith would secure a residency at St. Louis’s Premier Lounge. As his star began to climb, The St. Louis American billed him as “Baby Bird,” a reference to iconic saxophonist Charlie Parker and a New York Times review stated, “Kendrick Smith was playing the alto saxophone like his life depended on it!” One of the emerging pillars of the St. Louis music scene, Smith puts it best in that his vision is to “strive for excellence, show forth professionalism on and off the bandstand, to touch people, and to keep jazz music alive and moving forward.”

Prof. DiPiero introduces his current book project on the aesthetic and political contributions of contemporary indie bands like Soccer Mommy, Indigo De Souza, and Jay Som, arguing that they represent a novel synthesis of queer-feminist politics and alternative rock music vocabulary. Overwhelmingly performed by women and queer musicians, DiPiero refers to this indie rock orientation with the term “Big Feelings” in order to foreground the centrality of emotion, feeling, and affect in this music, resulting in a social orientation that listeners perceive, even in the absence of overt or literal statements about politics—that is, listeners feel this music’s feminist orientations even in the absence of clear references. Primarily performed by young, Gen-Z musicians, the Big Feelings that these artists articulate must also be read in the context of the successive socio-political crises that are not literally referenced in the music but nevertheless inform it.

Department of Music Lecture: “Big Feelings: Feminist Affect and Indie Rock After Riot Grrrl”

The St. Louis Chamber Soloists was founded in 2021 as a 501c3 non-profit by four members of the St. Louis string community. The string orchestra performs without a conductor, and works collectively and democratically, which lends itself to dynamic and innovative interpretations of music old and new. Leadership is valued from each individual. Each musician is a leader and contributor; to play, plan, and promote the music as a collective. The group performs regularly throughout St.Louis and employs some of the finest local musicians. St. Louis Chamber Soloists concerts include standards of the string orchestra repertoire as well as music by contemporary and under-represented composers.

Lucia Bonasoni Garzoni, whose portrait by Lavinia Fontana was recently acquired by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, achieved a certain renown as a musical donna di palazzo (to which the lute and music book in her portrait attest). The rediscovery of the chief events of her life suggests that she may have been too busy having babies to find much time for music-making. And her musical performances were likely more talked about than widely heard. Lucia’s surviving daughters illustrate another life reality: they all became nuns. Like her mother, Suor Giacinta Maria Garzoni also sang and played the lute; she represents the aristocratic gentlewomen for whom the convent offered some chance to realize performative aspirations, unencumbered by the rigors of childbirth, while also retaining her good name. Convent performance freed such women from the social taint associated with “public” music-making and musical professionalism. Such talents enabled poorer, less illustrious women to rise socially and to achieve privileged positions within often jealousy-guarded convent hierarchies.

This lecture-concert follows the history of the Israeli art song. Songs for voice and piano setting Hebrew poems have been composed since the early 20th century, reflecting Israel's rich and complicated culture.

Spotify’s Carl Chery claims that, in the streaming era, the designation “underground rap” has lost its meaning because all rappers share the same space on the internet (Gee 2021). This presentation, by contrast, reframes undergroundness as a set of social behaviors that operate in opposition to Chery’s notion of boundaryless listening. Cupps argues that mainstream hip-hop culture enacts a “liberal mandate of legibility” (Momii 2021) that underground hip-hop disrupts by communally centering what Édouard Glissant refers to as opacity—or “that which cannot be reduced” through Western interpretations of the racialized Other (1997). This talk uses two fan responses to the Brooklyn-based underground rapper ELUCID’s album I Told Bessie (2022) to demonstrate the difference between modes of interpretation in mainstream and underground communities: (1) Professor Skye’s YouTube review, which attempts to render ELUCID legible as an emcee who “makes emotional sense [but not] sense sense,” thereby reducing the album to a commentary on Blackness in America, and (2) Joseph Rathgeber’s zine about I Told Bessie, which reinforces the album’s opacity through associative, multilayered commentary on it.
