Hourglass Ensemble proudly premieres The Fire Always Says Yes, a powerful new song cycle by composer Anna Hirst Friedman in collaboration with poet Jessica Chapnik Kahn. This bold work explores the story of the human heart, traversing the inevitable process of facing ourselves through birth, love, death, and transformation.
Set within a striking musical landscape, the work evokes a perpetual fire that consumes the past and purifies what lies ahead. Special guest artist Amy Moore of The Song Company delivers a spellbinding interpretation of this deeply emotional story where the poetry strikes the spark and the music becomes the blaze. Are you ready to listen to the language of the heart?
Plus a spectacular supporting program including works by Dvorak, Schubert and premieres of new work by Rob Davidson, Oliver Muller (Australia) and Gilad Cohen (Israel).
