Forgotten Voices
Song Cycle Commissionied by Music Kitchen
With Support from Carnegie Hall
Celebrating 30,000 Homeless Shelter Clients,
100 Concerts
and The 15th Season
~ Featuring Comment Texts by Homeless Shelter Clients
Set By 15 Composers ~
Premiering One Song Each Month
for 15 Months in a Selected Shelter
Through May 2020
Music Kitchen exists to bring top artists in concert in homeless
shelters for those who, at this particular moment in their lives, have
little or no access to great music in a great concert hall. Though
Music Kitchen artists perform all over the world, Music Kitchen as an
organization has never had a reason to present concerts to the public
until now with our Forgotten Voices song cycle project.
Through that unique and historic project, we are taking what we have
learned over Music Kitchen's 15-year history, the voices and stories of
the clients we have served, and bringing it to you, the public for our
eventual world premiere at Carnegie Hall. But for now, in another
unique moment, when we are all (hopefully) practicing social distancing
to finally one day put this pandemic behind us, we are very happy to
share with you a rare glimpse into our shelter concerts and a chance to
meet the artists who bring these concerts and the Forgotten Voices project to life. I hope you will join us for Midsummer Night Stream,
Music Kitchen's first ever virtual summer festival! Beginning next
Wednesday July 22 for a total of 5 consecutive Wednesdays, join us to
watch our shelter performances and meet the artists and composers!
ZoomCast details coming soon! See below for our composer and artist lineup.
Truly, this moment
in time is pulling back the veil to reveal that elevating to center
stage the forgotten voices among us is more important now than ever
before.
As always, I hope you will include Music Kitchen and the Forgotten Voices project in your giving by clicking here and I look forward to seeing you next week!
Warmest Regards,
Kelly
