See the Vermont premiere of Sky Was Possible, a song cycle for soprano, flute, and piano composed by Middlebury's own Fletcher Professor of the Arts and Music Department Chair Su Lian Tan, with texts by Middlebury President and Professor of Religion Laurie Patton. Sky Was Possible consists of four poems from Patton's books Fire's Goal: Poems from a Hindu Year and House Crossing, taking us on a journey through love, love lost, and love passing. Soprano Kristen Watson and pianist John McDonald will start the evening with J.S. Bach's Süßer Trost, mein Jesus kömmt, BWV 151, which will be followed by selected works for flute and piano by Tan and McDonald. After Sky Was Possible's stunning close to the program, the audience is invited to celebrate the artists at a post-concert reception.
The concert will also be streamed at the Robison Hall YouTube channel:
