Events Description
Soundstreams’ Love Songs—for seven singers, piano, and percussion- explores love, identity, connection, and censorship through works that challenge and captivate.
At the heart of the program are Claude Vivier’s “Love Songs” and “Shiraz,” two intensely personal and spiritual works shaped in part by his travels to Japan, Indonesia, and Iran. Previously toured by Soundstreams to the U.K. and Germany, London’s The Guardian hailed Vivier’s music in this program as “unruly and utterly distinctive.” Ana Sokolović’s “Dring! Dring!” playfully reflects on our complex relationship with our cell phones, and Nicole Lizée’s “The Filthy Fifteen,” inspired by a 1985 list of songs compiled in the USA and deemed too obscene for public consumption, takes a subversive look at artistic censorship and the boundaries of expression. Together, these works challenge and captivate—offering a striking meditation on identity, connection, and the forces that shape what we hear, say, and create.
