RAHA Duo & Hazel Dean Davis: Toward the Sky
CVM’s founder Amelia Hollander Ames returns with her group RAHA Duo, plus special guest Hazel Dean Davis! Join us for a beautiful concert of music for viola, piano, and French Horn.
This concert will feature the world premiere of “Sleepers for viola and piano” by Matthew Aucoin, commissioned by CVM and RAHA Duo. Matthew Aucoin is an American composer, conductor, writer, pianist, and a 2018 MacArthur Fellow. He is Artist in Residence at Los Angeles Opera, and has worked as a composer and conductor with the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, the American Repertory Theater, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Music Academy of the West. He is co-Artistic Director of the American Modern Opera Company.
Our program will also include “Songs of the Wolf” by Andrea Clearfield which is inspired by the legend of La Loba, the Wolf Woman, and “The Stone and the Milkweed” by Jonathan Bailey which is inspired by Richard Wilbur’s poem “Two Voices in a Meadow”.
