Florestan Recital Project presents a multi-disciplinary song cycle based on the novel Pan by Nobel-winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun.
Set to a new libretto by Minneapolis poet Todd Boss, PANIC explores themes of solitude, longing and madness. Vores’s music combines a vivid contemporary soundscape with a pillar of classical music tradition, the narrative solo song cycle.
Performed by Florestan Recital Project and in collaboration with University of Minnesota’s School of Music.
Aaron Engebreth, baritone & Alison d’Amato, pianist.
Directed and choreographed by David Walsh, with projected images by Lynn Lukkas and dancers from University of Minnesota.
*A pre-concert discussion with the creative team on the genesis of this world premiere will be held 30 minutes prior to each performance.
