TURNmusic returns for it's 4th season!
We are thrilled to play on the Rusty Nail Stage and feature music by local composer, Andy Gagnon. He will sing on his piece called, 'I Found the Way'.
The evening's signature piece will be Sarah Kirkland Snider's Penelope. Inspired by Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey, PENELOPE is a meditation on memory, identity, and what it means to come home.
"Suspended somewhere between art song, indie rock, and chamber folk, the music of PENELOPE moves organically from moments of elegiac strings-and-harp reflection to dusky post-rock textures with drums, guitars and electronics." In the work, originally scored for alto/actor and string quartet, a woman's husband appears at her door after an absence of twenty years, suffering from brain damage. A veteran of an unnamed war, he doesn't know who he is and she doesn't know who he's become. While they wait together for his return to himself, she reads him the Odyssey, and in the journey of that book, she finds a way into her former husband's memory and the terror and trauma of war. Mary Bonhag (Scrag Mountain Music) will be the vocalist on this 60 minute song cycle.
