Set inside a murky pastoral landscape inhabited by a simple fisherman, his family and a Mute Swan, The Swan Catchers will unfold over a four hour period, performed in three parts over three nights (each performance has a running time of approximately one hour and fifteen minutes). A collaboration between composer Aaron Siegel and visual artist/director Bryan Markovitz, The Swan Catchers combines Siegel's forlorn yet anxious libretto for three voices - accompanied live by The Flux Quartet - with Markovitz's dynamic visual environment featuring large-scale projections and architectural elements, situated within the Chocolate Factory's white upstairs performance space. The Swan Catchers is commissioned by the Jerome Foundation and the American Composers Forum, with support for Siegel by the American Music Center. Siegel runs the out-music gamut, comfortable in contemporary freeish jazz or the most abstract experimental music around.—Bret McCabe, Baltimore WeeklyVisit the artist's website here. |
