For All Our Sisters
Masks and proof of vaccination is required at all concert venues.
The stories of women from antiquity resonate through our times. In this program, local composer Aaron Grad, the creator of the electric theorbo concerto Strange Seasons, returns for a program featuring soprano Danielle Reutter-Harrah and an ensemble of Rachell Ellen Wong, violin; Janet See, flute; Annabeth Shirley, cello; Deborah Fox, theorbo; and Jillon Stoppels Dupree, harpsichord. They are joined by reader/dancer Milvia Pacheco and reader/poet Jennifer Bullis for a program of exquisite cantatas from across the centuries, interlaced with contemporary poetry and evocative interludes, all designed to help us listen more compassionately to women’s stories from mythological times to today. Aaron’s new work, co-created with the Bellingham-based poet Jennifer Bullis, shines new light on the Sirens.
