January 19, 2017Musicians of Ma’alwyck to Host Performances, Release CD
Love lurks behind many a musical inspiration, which has inspired the Musicians of Ma’alwyck to put together a program celebrating the music, movement, and poetry of that grand, elusive feeling. Love-music somber and love-music sweet are the heart of the Valentine’s Day concert “Suite of Love,” which weaves poetry and dance into a garland of musical selections written by Bach, Schumann, Mozart, and others.
Barrios La Catedral for solo guitar; songs by Robert Schumann and Henry Purcell will be offered alongside the Suite Espagnole for violin and guitar by Joaquin Nin-Culmell – whose sister, Anaïs Nin, penned fervent erotica – and “Blue Third Pieces” by Libby Larsen. Musicians of Ma’alwyck members Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, violin; Sten Isachsen, guitar; and Norman Thibodeau, flute; are joined by soprano Tess McCarthy.
Beth Fecteau is creating dance pieces for her company, Nacre, to both the words and music; the text, much of it inspired by the writings of the composers themselves, is being written by the eternally love stricken wordsmith Byron Nilsson; the words will be realized by actors from Creative License.
