NICO MUHLY: Stranger (Midwestern premiere)
The Festival’s opening program, Songs of the New World, showcases songs about the immigrant experience.
Songs by composers Ian Cusson, Missy Mazzoli, Mohammed Fairouz, and Ruth Crawford Seeger feature on this program alongside songs by Franz Schubert, who wrote many songs on the themes of wandering and pilgrimage. A highlight of this performance will be the Midwest premiere of a new song cycle for tenor and string quartet written by Nico Muhly, Stranger, in which Muhly juxtaposes settings of accounts of immigration through Ellis Island with settings of texts protesting the United States’ Chinese Exclusion policies of the late 19th century, which persisted through the years of World War II.
