Three of music’s most forward-thinking and genre-blurring young stars – Grammy-winning vocal superstar Julia Bullock, renowned cellist and musical explorer Seth Parker Woods, and acclaimed pianist Conor Hanick – join us with their compelling new collaborative program.
The artists open with the premiere of a new work and 92NY co-commission by the brilliant Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Tania León. Also on the program: André Previn’s Four Songs for Soprano, Cello, and Piano, Previn’s song cycle set to poems by Toni Morrison, and the follow up to his acclaimed Honey and Rue; George Walker’s Cello Sonata, a work Woods has championed and called “a lesser-known masterpiece;” selections from John Tavener’s haunting Akhmatova Songs, music by Ravel, and songs by Nina Simone. Individually and together, these artists are presenting music and perspectives that take listeners on wide-ranging journeys. Join them.
