The Arkansas New Music Ensemble, comprised of students from the Department of Music, joins faculty soprano Moon-Sook Park to present Michael Daugherty's Labyrinth of Love. This eclectic song cycle encompasses a diverse musical landscape full of desire, bitterness, longing, ecstasy, irony, tenderness, despair, hope, sadness, and humor.
Labyrinth of Love is inspired by the love poetry and prose of eight women: Sappho, Lady Mary Wroth, Juana Ines de la Cruz, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Anne Carson.
The program also features Torn Canvases by Matthew Tommasini. Torn Canvases is written to honor and to musically depict the paintings of Jackson Pollack.
