Arnold Schoenberg:  Suite, Op. 29
William Kraft:  Settings from Pierrot Lunaire, with Sarah Pelletier, soprano
Curtis Hughes:  Verbiage world premiere

Symbols and allusions abound in BMV’s second concert of the season. Schoenberg embeds melodic references to his wife in the dance-inspired Suite, Op. 29. Commissioned by the Arnold Schoenberg Institute for the 75th anniversary of Schoenberg’s masterpiece, Kraft’s Settings from Pierrot Lunaire uses a different selection of the Pierrot poetry cycle to colorfully conjure the protagonist’s surreal world. Boston composer Curtis K. Hughes contributes his world-premiere sextet Verbiage.

Boston Musica Viva
Tsai Performance Center

Boston University

Judith Weir
Blue-Green Hill world premiere

Elliott Carter
Double Trio first Boston performance

Sebastian Currier
Vocalissimus
Zorana Sadiq, Soprano

Composers depart from typical styles and instrumentation in “Role-Play”. In Currier’s virtuosic Vocalissimus, soprano Zorana Sadiq plays the roles of satirist, mystic, miser and more in 18 different settings of one Wallace Stevens poem. The unusual pairing of flute and percussion receives clever treatment in Child’s Duo for Flute and Percussion. Carter experiments with the softer side of brass instruments in a chamber setting in Double Trio. Celebrated opera composer Judith Weir brings her theatrical compositional style to chamber music in the world-premiere Blue-Green Hill
