New Music Festival: Guest Artist—Departure Duo

Boston Conservatory at Berklee

Enter the world of soprano and double bass, for an evening of wide-ranging and colorful sounds. In an hour of music, you will hear a Totentanz (dance of death) in the Jamaican language, during which Death gleefully proclaims judgment upon those she calls to her irresistible dance; puritanical quips from an eighteenth-century eccentric who actually shipped coals to Newcastle; strings of Joycean insults; and the sparse, deliberate beauty of negative sonic space.
