Ars Nova Singers: Made Fragile

"Our first return to the concert hall in 2022 honors the uncertainty of our shared experiences and the trust we place in one another. We open with sinuous works by Indian-American composer Reena Esmail, riffing on the seemingly unordered yet hauntingly beautiful sounds of traditional Hindustani raga. Raga (or raag), melodic frameworks in traditional Indian classical music which offer endless improvisation, rely on trust—between musician, listener, and space. They are a framework, not a mandate, much like the quivering faith of Fauré’s beloved Requiem."

With Artistic Director and Conductor, Thomas Edward Morgan and featured guest artists Matthew Dane, viola and Christina Jennings, flute.
