Available from March 16 onward, we welcome the premiere of songs reflecting our reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic, Watch for the posting at YouTube.com/classicaltuesdays
Join Tacoma Poet laureate emerita Josie Emmons Turner and
composer Gregory Youtz as they discuss and then premiere “Songs for the Spring
of Waiting.” Josie’s response to the
pandemic shutdown a year ago was an explosion of poems that ranged from
gardening to students to thinking about the poet Walt Whitman and his response
to crisis. Greg’s response to the poems was to set them to music as documents
of this unique time. Soprano CyndiaSieden, mezzo-soprano Soon Cho and pianist Oksana Ezhokina will premiere the
five songs in a way that is also a document of these times- socially distanced
and online!
