An evening w/ Amy X Neuburg & the Cello ChiXtet
Time:8:00PM Monday, November 30th
Location:The Colburn School
Amy X Neuburg
Amy's recipe-inspired song cycle for female voices with live looping electronics, plus beautiful world music by Solstice.
Avant-cabaret composer/performer Amy X Neuburg appears with the wonderful and versatile Solstice vocal ensemble to present her “Fill as Desired” (“Beliebig Füllen”) song cycle for female voices with... live looping electronics. Sung in English, German and Czech, the songs are based on recipes that were collected by women in the Terezin concentration camp, cleverly layered with Amy's own texts on fantasy as a means of survival. The music draws from Eastern European folk, German lieder, Weimar cabaret, and the avant-garde, and features Amy as vocalist and looping electronics performer -- recording and layering eight voices into a thick multi-layered, multi-language chorus.
The award-winning Solstice ensemble will open the evening with a set of their beautiful a cappella world music. Solstice is Emily Bender, Becca Burrington, Lark Coryell, Krista Enos, Mari Marjamaa, Kim Warsaw, and Sara Webb-Schmitz. Amy will fill out the evening with several songs from her solo voice/looping repertoire (including perhaps something new!).
The Jewish Music Festival originally commissioned “Fill as Desired” for their 2005 program (where it received overwhelming response) and is a co-sponsor of this new expanded version.
