About The Event
Calliope's Call, a New England-based art song performance collective is approaching our tenth anniversary season, which centers around an exciting, new project for Calliope's Call: the recording and tour of our debut album!
The album, entitled NEW MOON, celebrates the work of female American composers who were and are especially active in the genre of art song. Seamlessly blending contemporary music with compositions from the twentieth century, NEW MOON explores the themes of love, sexuality, and gender through the lenses of raw emotions and the power of nature.
The program features works by Marion Bauer, Jodi Goble, Sarah Hutchings, Libby Larsen and Gilda Lyons, and will be the first time many of these songs have been recorded. Performed by soprano Evangelia Leontis, mezzo soprano Megan Roth, and pianist JJ Penna, we look forward to bringing New Moon to listeners everywhere, whether through the recording or our recital tour of New England.
