New Music Sunday at Barbès presents Weisman Music

Stefan Weisman, Composers & The Voice alumni and Darkling composer, will present some of his original compositions THIS Sunday, October 17th, at 7pm as part of Barbès's New Music Sunday.  The performance will feature guitarist James Moore with Mellissa Hughes, Corey Dargel, and Wil Smith, as well as soprano Katharine Dain with composer Chris Berg.

In addition to Weisman's compositions for acoustic and electric guitar (including Everywhere Feathers, with words by Anna Rabinowitz, author of Darkling: A Poem), Dain's portion will include a sampling of Weisman's vocal works, from the ethereal Look At The Light (from Weisman's opera Fade, a commission from Second Movement (UK), with additional development from AOP)  to Twinkie, which was part of AOP's Composers & The Voice Workshop series, with text by Hostess.  For the animal lovers out there, there's also Law of the Jungle 1, based on a strange but true story about a lioness who adopts an antelope calf.

Who knows, you might even get a sneak preview of Corey Dargel's Hold Yourself Together, or hear Ingram Marshall's Soe-pa and Four Nabokov Songs by Chris Berg.
