Hezarfen Ensemble “Word and Sound” Panel
Literature has inspired some of the most poignant creations by composers, whether by providing programmatic shape, imagery and rhythmic and sonic material, or pure inspiration. This collaborative project celebrates literature as a muse for music, recalling pre-classical Ancient Greece’s concept of Mousike (Art of the Muses), which contained both word and sound.
Participating composers:
Onur Türkmen, Michael Ellison, Neal Farwell, Benedict Todd
