Taking a trip down memory lane with our friend Christopher Berg at the piano for “Lettre de Regret (excerpt from Chabrier’s letter to his son)” featuring MVE Director and tenor Scott Murphree.
MVE mourns the loss of dear friend and beloved composer Christopher Berg whom we’ve worked with closely over the years. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and family and we hope to share some of our previous collaborations this week to honor his memory, his friendship, and artistry.
A moment in rehearsal preparing for a pivotal moment in Randall Eng’s world premiere of “Song.” Noted by NY Concert Review “one could appreciate the tremendous virtuosity of composer Randall Eng in narrating the tale vividly through the music, artfully punctuating key moments like the word “joke” (the misguided premise for the crime), fleshing out the story with sections of jazzy dancing rhythms (often in sevens), and accentuating the pain at one point by having all four singers join the pianist in brutal, percussive clusters and extended techniques. It was certainly unforgettable, and a thought-provoking close to the concert.”
