About
Baritone Thomas Buckner is joined by pianist Joseph Kubera, percussionist William Winant, harpist Melanie Genin, and bassist James Ilgenfritz. This thirtieth anniversary concert continues to uphold that tradition of presenting a concert of commissioned pieces, nearly all world premieres, every season. Buckner will present Tenderness in Late Afternoon Light, by Michael Byron for voice and piano (with text by Anne Tardos); as well as Stimmen, by French composer Christian Dachez, for baritone, vibraphone, and harp (with text by Rainier Maria Rilke); [where the late sweet] BIRDS SANG by Steed Cowart, for baritone and percussion (with text byStephen Ratcliffe); Roscoe Mitchell’s voice and piano take of the e e cummings poems “because it’s”, “this”, and “dim”; and James Ilgenfritz’s A Bell in Every Finger, settings of poems by New York poet Steve Dalachinsky for baritone, piano, percussion, and contrabass, dedicated to Muhal Richard Abrams and Cecil Taylor.
