21c Liederabend

a 21st century “LIEDER-PALOOZA” – WQXR, New York City Classical Radio, April 2011

“The composers involved in this new Liederabend…span New York’s vibrant, inclusive new-music scene. Some…have shaped tastes for decades. Others like Sarah Kirkland Snider, David T. Little and Matt Marks are among the brightest lights to emerge in recent seasons… Joining those composers…is an equally starry constellation of vocalists, actors, stage directors and video artists.”
- Time Out New York, April 2011

An expansive, at times explosive survey of contemporary art song, musical theater and opera.

Concept

Seeking to update the definition of liederabend for the 21st century, independent producing companies Beth Morrison Projects, Opera on Tap and VisionIntoArt join forces to present the most ambitious, and comprehensive art song festival of the season. Building on the festival’s critically-acclaimed premiere in 2009 (Best of 2009 in Classical and Opera Timeout NYC), the producers have expanded the festival exponentially to present works of 21 composers including 6 world premieres over the course of 3 nights, encompassing an explosive array of styles presented within a visual palate of projection design, newly commissioned films and sculptural lighting design.
