“Nothing could be worse than a return to normality”
~Arundhati Roy
The Pandemic is a Portal is a hybrid event featuring live music and videos created for online streaming.
The devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on working class people cannot be overstated. From financial fallout, to loneliness, to the world shutting down our plans, no one has not been affected somehow by this trauma. As we look forward longing for normality, Matthew Lyons’s new work The Portal wonders if “nothing could be worse than a return to normality."
Through works by local composers Matthew Lyons, James Tabata, and Nicholas Perry Clark; works by acclaimed composers Fanny Hensel and George Lewis; and words by Arundhati Roy, Matthew Lyons, and Gwendolyn Brooks, this concert bridges us into our return and reconciles with the past, present, and future of the pandemic.
Program
Matthew Lyons: The Portal
Nicholas Perry Clark: Ethically Egregious
Fanny Hensel/Nicholas Perry Clark: excerpts from Oratorium: Musik für
die Toten der Cholera-Epidemie 1831 (Music for the Dead during the Cholera Pandemic 1831)
James Tabata: Agnus
George Lewis: Anthem
