BREATH THAT TETHERS US: Recital for unaccompanied voice
Stephanie Lamprea, soprano
“It is easy, you might say, to overlook something that is invisible. We do not commonly notice our breathing, although it enables all that we do notice. And we do not commonly see the air, since it is that through which we see everything else... We stopped feeling for the invisible qualities that reside in particular places. We quit tasting the breeze, stopped noticing the steady gift of our breath, and generally forgot the air.” (David Abram)
This program of contemporary music for unaccompanied soprano reconnects voice and atmosphere through breath that lifts, paints, and tethers us. In an array of vocal timbres and extended techniques, the listener is met with vulnerable interpretations of text, soaring vocalises, and mercurial acrobatics abound. Tech requirements: none

GEORGE APERGHIS: 14 RECITATIONS
Stephanie Lamprea, soprano
14 Récitations, written 1977-78, is an ambitious and difficult work for solo female voice by Georges Aperghis. Agglomeration of high notes are interrupted with coughs, mutters, and stray words seemingly spoken out of turn. Based around extended vocal technique, the work’s discontinuous form falls between musical and verbal support structures, and forces the singer to build their own vocal character in the interstices of word and sound.
Tech requirements: none (for choreographed performance, large floor space encouraged)
