REFLECTIONS: on loss
7PM on February 25th, 2014
Hibben Gallery, The San Diego Museum of Art
Loss
has touched all of us in some way, and some of history's most powerful
works of art have their roots in the pain of death and mourning. This
concert features two of our time's most eloquent composers contemplating
different aspects of death: Anna Clyne's elegiac Within Her Arms is a
beautifully heartfelt reflection on the life and death of her mother,
while David Lang explores the many facets of suffering in The Little
Match Girl Passion, setting the Hans Christian Andersen story to the
format of Bach's St. Matthew Passion. A 15-piece string section, Art of Élan's largest ever, highlight this evening's performance.
