Sunday, May 9, 4 PM
Grace Episcopal Church, Newton
“The woods were in quiet mood, dreamy and sweet. No great contrasts of light and dark but full of quiet flowing light and fresh from the recent rain, and the growth full, steady and ascending.”
“…There is something additional, a breath that draws your breath into its breathing, a heartbeat that pounds on yours, a recognition of the oneness of all things.” -Emily Carr
Cappella Clausura takes inspiration from the sublime as represented in artwork made by women, and explores those women's perspective on the world we live in – on the grandest and smallest scales. On one hand, we have Hildegard’s sublime and dramatic paintings of her religious visions of the earth and the cosmos, reflected in her equally visionary music. On the other, we have the sublimity of the tiniest, fragile phenomena of nature represented in Emily Carr’s paintings. This fragility is reflected in Tawnie Olson’s musical setting of Carr’s journals.
This concert features Tawnie Olson’s “Beloved of the Sky”, alongside works by Hildegard, Hilary Tann, and Evelin Seppar, among others.
