Join us for Love Songs on April 23, the second in a series of concerts celebrating the musical legacy of Prof. David Schiff, who is retiring after 38 years. Co-presented with Portland new-music ensemble fEARnoMUSIC, this performance will feature the Reed College Collegium Musicum, the college’s chamber choir.
The program will include "Peace" (1984) and "All About Love" (2004) and will feature mezzo-soprano Hai-Ting Chinn and tenor Thomas Glenn. “Peace” sets texts from Isaiah (in Hebrew and English) in sections forming an arc from calm to agitation and back. “All About Love” is a characteristically erudite work, in three stand-alone movements with interludes, based on texts by Petrarch, Louise Labé, Herman Melville, Marina Tsvetaeva, John Keats, Marcel Proust, and Elizabeth Bishop.
Free and open to the public.
