The Tenth Muse, in An Evening of Original Music and Performance
A new opera by Chicago-based composer Elbio Barilari, The Tenth Muse celebrates the life and poetry of the extraordinary Mexican writer, poet, musician, scientist, thinker and feminist, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. This 40-minute work is performed for one night only in the 5th Latino Theatre Festival (June 19–July 25), in the Owen Theatre at the Goodman.
I perform on springboard with a neo-baroque ensemble performing on period instruments.
This program is part of an evening of original music composed by local artists in association with the Latino Music Festival (Chicago), Lyric Opera of Chicago, Collaboraction and Aguavá New Music Studio. Tickets are $18/$9 (Students w/ID)
You’re invited to participate in a special project of radio aporee and the World Listening Project for the first World Listening Day, on Sunday, July 18, 2010.
Radio aporee is an open project about the creation and exploration of public space. Its creator, Udo Noll asks you for help in creating an “audio snapshot of the world” as heard and recorded on World Listening Day. Aporee maps uses the Google maps interface to allow anyone to easily find their location on the map, then upload their audio via the web or mobile phone.
We’re inviting you to send an audio recording from your actual location, or other places of your interest on this day to the maps: http://aporee.org/maps/.
With your contributions collected on World Listening Day, Udo will then create a dedicated project page on the aporee map. As Udo says, “…besides having a nice documentation, I’m really intrigued by the idea of listening to the sounds of a particular day, around the world….” I’m very curious about what will happen, too.
I’m happy to announce that the American Society for Acoustic Ecology’s Listening for the Future symposium will take place from Friday, July 9 through Sunday, July 11 in Chicago. Hosted by the ASAE’s Midwest chapter and the World Listening Project this conference is the first of its kind in the United States.
(This concert event is a prelude to the 2010 World Forum for Acoustic Ecology conference in Koli, Finland. I will be giving a short presentation entitled “Tourists in the Soundscape” and participating in a panel discussion “What’s new? - 35 years later: Updates on The Tuning of the World, a discussion on the occasion of the upcoming German re-edition”. ) More info: http://www.akueko.com/
