Past is Prologue

Music evolves. Musical language has been evolving over time, from simple and harmonic to more complicated and dissonant. Somewhere along the line, some of the audience got lost. Two performers put together a program to relate two different musical languages from two different times. You are invited to join us and follow along in this performance, tracing how the past can point the way to the present and future. Music evolves, so should the audience.

Katarzyna Kowalik, in her half-recital, presents three intriguing combinations of old and new music, where past is prologue:

Marjory Kennedy-Fraser Mull Fisher's Love Song, arr. Lisa Robertson
Lisa Robertson dorchadas, duilichinn, dòchas (darkness, regret, hope)
Anon. Irish Ho Hoane
Evangelia Rigaki Keening
Elisabetta di Gambarini Lover, go and Calm your Sighs, with variations on the song
Janet Oates Night shall Hide thee
