About the event
Bowerbird is pleased to present Variant 6 performing their program Equinox. Serving as the centerpiece for this program is Philadelphia composer Benjamin C.S. Boyle’s first Cantata: To One in Paradise. The poem “To One is Paradise” is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe dating from his mature poetic period that features many of the poet’s favorite themes: young love, divinity, and death. The Cantata – composed 20 years ago by Boyle – will be performed in an all-new transcription by the composer for four vocal soloists of Variant 6 and pianist Laura Ward. In addition to Boyle’s work, we will perform works by Brahms and Fauré for voices and piano on themes of love, loss, and darkness.
