Full Description:

Original music featuring composer/vocalist Gabrielle Herbst with the Kalmia String Quartet, David Bloom (conductor), John Boggs (piano), Leila Bordreuil (cello), Tamas Zetenyi (cello), Conor Brown (clarinet), Elana Gleason (voice), Kylie Collins & Patricia Spencer (flutes), Anthony Kingsley & Matthew O' Koren (percussion), David Nagy (bassoon), Allie Avital Tsypin (design and costumes)



Combining traditional notation with graphic scores and improvisation, the music is sensory and imagistic, pursuing an intimacy between instruments and voices, audience and spatial environment. Drawing from many influences she composes for her own and other voices with orchestra, chamber ensemble and electronics.
