Ojai Music Festival presents The Echoing of Tenses with Arthur Sze

Ojai Music Festival presents The Echoing of Tenses with Arthur Sze

From the organizers:

A new song cycle, the echoing of tenses, commissioned from Anthony Cheung, sets poetry by Asian-American writers interconnected by the larger theme of memory, made complicated by the circumstances and tensions of cultural and personal identity, family, migration, loss, and reflection. The various poems by Arthur Sze, Monica Youn, Jenny Xie, Ocean Vuong, and others, will be sung, spoken, and interwoven throughout. The work features Paul Appleby, Miranda Cuckson, and Conor Hanick, and a score that mixes live performance with pre-recorded sound design, in collaboration with David Bird.

This is an in-person event.
