About the Event
Join us for an evening of piano and vocal music inspired by mammals, birds, insects, fish, and more!
Jake Heggie, Charles Ives, Samuel Barber, Rebecca Clarke, and Alberto Ginastera sketch different portraits of felines. Claude Debussy, William Bolcom, and Henry Cowell capture the contrasting movements of goldfish, butterfly, and tiger. André Caplet sets fables by Jean de la Fontaine that imagine conversations between crow and fox, grasshopper and ant, and lamb and wolf. Derek Bermel imagines what “piano music for animals” might sound like. Olivier Messiaen charts an entire day of bird calls from the wheatear to the goldfinch to the seagull. Ernest Chausson, Leoš Janáček, Benjamin Britten, Maurice Ravel, and Tom Cipullo consider human nature in relation to the hummingbird, vixen, fish, swan, and cricket.
