Fresh from its world premiere in Big Sky, and performances in Ventura, California and at NPR’s Tiny Desk.
This is our first home concert in August! We’re excited.
We can’t think of a better work to dive into deep Summer than Shara’s Titration, an exploration of feeling – of embracing our bodies, our joy, our rage, our determination. Balance, Reaction, Titration – told through songs from the composer of one of our stand-out Carols after a Plague.
Do you know when we hold hands our pulses find one another?
Did you know when we hold hands our pulses find each other?
Find each other
And then a picnic!
Bring a blanket or chair, if you like, for our outdoor picnic after the indoor concert.
Throw in a bottle of something.
We’ll provide the burgers, salads, and chips and a bit of Rosé.
TITRATION is commissioned by The Crossing - Donald Nally, conductor, the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky, Montana, & Conspirare - Craig Hella Johnson, conductor; with support from Anne and Dennis Wentz and the Joel Brauer Fund for New Music.
