This program explores themes of sonic-visual hybridity, cultural memory, and the emotional complexity of contemporary life through an interdisciplinary lens grounded in musical practice. At its core is a dialogue between personal and collective histories, the fragility of expression, and the resilience found in vulnerability. The Romantic lyricism of Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No.1 — split and recontextualized across the evening — serves not as a monument to the past, but as a living thread, threaded between contemporary works that grapple with identity, loss, and transformation. These pieces reflect personal and artistic reckonings with a world in flux: refracting identity, displacement, and catharsis through sound, image, and gesture. Che Buford’s To name, to breathe, to feel, to live draws from queer embodiment, poetry, and violin technique to navigate themes of vulnerability and reclamation. Daniel Weitz and Nadia Benes’s e.g. (for example) unfolds as a co-improvised exploration of materiality and presence through cello and movement. Sofia Ouyang’s Antuni, Voiced reimagines an Armenian folk song through the lens of diasporic grief and sonic memory. Disappearance, a black-and-white film by Joshua Mastel, traces poetic impressions of change and impermanence through celestial and elemental imagery. The program’s structural pulse is shaped by the fragmentation of the Mendelssohn trio — movements I & II appearing early in the evening, and III & IV returning at the close. This dramaturgical arc transforms the trio into a throughline, threading its Romantic vocabulary through a multimedia landscape. The classical work is thus recontextualized—not as a fixed form, but as a resonant voice among others: interrupted, echoed, and reanimated. This multilayered experience invites audiences into an emotionally and sensorially immersive space, where classical form, experimental process, and interdisciplinary storytelling converge.
