Join soprano and flute duo PRANA and singer-songwriter JENNIFER GREER
for a night of new music.
Soprano Jennifer Ashe and flutist Alicia DiDonato are both well known
in Boston as dynamic performers of new music. As the duo Prana, they
bring breath, energy, and life to repertoire written for the intimate
combination of flute and soprano. Prana explores music that is
delicate, fascinating, and seldom performed. For this concert, Prana
has asked ten local composers to write new pieces for the
ensemble. Hear new works by Marti Epstein, Curtis Hughes, Robert
Kirzinger, Martin Near, Aaron Trant, Ken Ueno, Nick Vines, Julia Werntz,
James Bergin and Hillary Zipper.
Prana will be followed by singer-songwriter Jennifer Greer. Jennifer
Greer's music is an eclectic mix of pop, jazz, and classical
traditions, woven into an emotional and highly rhythmic musical
journey. Inspired by personal experience, dreams, the natural world,
books, film, and sometimes politics, Jennifer's songs seek to find a
mood and enfold the listener inside it. Her distinctive voice which
can soar from earthy and sensual to sweetly lush is showcased in her
new album "the Apiary," which critics are calling "stunning." A true
instrumentalist, she explores a wide range of mood and sound, playing
the piano with an imagination rarely found in pop or folk today. As
a performer, she exudes a passion and joy that is tangible,
shameless, and direct.
This will be a fascinating evening of classical, pop, and jazz music.
