All songs are inherently derived from the love song. This program
examines the tragic nature of song and understands all love songs as
songs of loss. The virtuoso chamber orchestra Ensemble Soundstreams is
joined by the brilliant soprano Danika Lorèn. It features powerful
juxtapositions: purely instrumental pieces by Fanny Mendelssohn,
Oliver Knussen and Matthew Ricketts; works for voice and ensemble by
Tansy Davies and Shawn Jaeger; rich Romantic-era consonance and
striking contemporary dissonance; and the intimacy of the love song in
a work by Ana Sokolovi?. These seemingly opposing concepts are the
musical personification of two lovers, challenging audience
perceptions of contemporary repertoire by featuring works that are
deeply romantic and powerfully expressive. This concert is curated by
Brad Cherwin, winner of the 2024/25 Soundstreams New Voices Curator
