Events Description
A new Soundstreams TD Encounters Series event-MARK ROTHKO & MUSIC is a free companion event to Soundstreams’ season opening concert this November, The Bright Divide. Presented in collaboration with Koffler Arts, this event takes place on October 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Holy Blossom Temple.
This special event is centred around music inspired by iconic American painter Mark Rothko, and will include a riveting discussion on Rothko and music moderated by Koffler Arts General Director Matthew Jocelyn, with Lawrence Cherney, art historian Joyce Zemans, Tim Albery (stage director of The Bright Divide), and composer Cecilia Livingston.
A live performance will include excerpts from Morton Feldman’s masterwork Rothko Chapel, which premiered at the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas in 1972, and Cecilia Livingston’s mark, a newly commissioned companion work to the Feldman, to be premiered by Soundstreams during The Bright Divide at the new TD Music Hall on November 10, and 11, 2023. Excerpts will be performed on October 30 by Steven Dann (viola), Gregory Oh (piano), and Alex Samaras (voice).
Images of Rothko paintings, both from the Chapel and from his earlier periods, will be projected during the event. There will also be an audience Q&A.
