The exploratory and innovative cantata is a part of the Gardner Museum’s STIR Performance Series.
Sound from the Bench, written by Ted Hearne, is based on Jena Osman’s “Corporate Relations.” The cantata’s five movements will feature a chamber choir, two electric guitars, and drums, as well as language from landmark Supreme Court cases and ventriloquism textbooks.
Hearne has transformed these challenging topics to a moving, eclectic, and hauntingly beautiful performance.
The program will be performed by the new-music focused, award-winning professional chamber group THE CROSSING with Taylor Levine, guitar; James Moore, guitar; and Ron Wiltrout, percussion.
They will be led by conductor Donald Nally, who has served as a conductor and director for many prestigious groups internationally.
Beth Morrison is heralded as an opera maverick with a reputation for cutting-edge work in opera, musical theater, and multi-media concerts.
