"Air, soil, water, fire – those are words, I myself am a word with them – my qualities interpenetrate with theirs – my name is nothing to them, Though it were told in the three thousand languages, what would air, soil, water, fire know of my name?" ~ Walt Whitman
Join Seattle Art Song Society as we explore the elements through song. The beauty of mother earth and of the spark of Creation are explored in the first half. Our impact on Gaia is explored in the second half as we explore the Seven Deadly Sins and how they each influence our relationship with the elements.
Dora Barnes, Cheryse McLeod Lewis (mezzo-soprano, actor, model, dream chaser), Julia Benzinger, Darrell J. Jordan (baritone), Andrew Etherington, Rachelle Moss (contralto), and Steven Luksan perform works by Wolf, Hall, Crawford Seeger, Copland, Armbrust, Luksan, Björk, Hahn, Vaughan Williams, and Quilter. There will be 10 world premieres!
