I'm making a piece with Peter Sellars based on poetry by @jorie_graham. It's called MUSIC FOR NEW BODIES.

Wow I don't have words for how excited I am for this one.

See you next April at @DaCameraHouston @ShepherdSchool

I PASSED UNDER THE ROOF OF THE HEAVENS

This Flammarion engraving (1888) depicts a man, clothed in a long robe and carrying a staff, kneeling down passing his head, shoulders, and right arm through a gap between the star-studded sky and the earth, discovering a marvelous realm of circling clouds, fires and suns beyond

The event features AMOC* Company Members @MirandaViolin (violin) and Julia Eichten (movement) with special guest Christopher Burns (sound artist), directed by Zack Winokur.

In honor of Luigi Nono’s 99th birthday, we are thrilled to offer a limited release of the concert film NONO. AMOC*’s production of Luigi Nono’s “La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura,” premiered at the Clark Art Institute in August 2020.

[American Modern Opera Company @RunningAMOC]

@clarkart at dusk, the production brings a physical and humane urgency to the piece’s evocation of a displaced wanderer seeking refuge.

THREE TURTLES WERE TROTTING ON A VERY NARROW SIDEWALK

When writing HOW TO FALL APART, composer and poet Carolyn Chen sourced inspiration from myriad myths from Hindi, Chinese, and Native American traditions, all centering on tales of a giant turtle that supports the world.
