Turning Point Ensemble presents Songs and Poetry
With Robyn Driedger-Klassen and Fides Krucker
In a beguiling fusion of poetry and music, TPE connects two miniature masterpieces by Ravel and Stravinsky with a new premiere by Dutch composer Richard Rijnvos. All three works are composed for the same instrumentation and will be sung by soprano Robyn Driedger-Klassen. Also included are Christopher Butterfield’s striking Jappements à la Lune with poetry in an invented language by Claude Gauvreau, and Jocelyn Molock’s playful et je danse, setting poetry of Arthur Rimbaud.
Programme:
Trois poésies de la lyrique japonaise by Igor Stravinsky
Trois poèmes de Mallarmé by Maurice Ravel
Riflesso sull’ aria by Richard Rijnvos
…et je danse by Jocelyn Morlock
