An Evening with Gabriella Smith & yMusic
Tickets & Info
“Smith evokes the beauty, terror, and joy of the natural world.” —New York Times
Gabriella Smith is an environmentalist as well as a composer. Channeling both the awe-inspiring beauty of nature and the effect of the climate crisis in sound, Smith makes a moving plea for the planet we call home in Aquatic Ecology. Acclaimed chamber ensemble yMusic presents the Twin Cities premiere of the major new work, which was written for the sextet. The 40-minute piece brings to life hidden ecosystems, featuring raw and processed field recordings from sources including California tide pools and Polynesian coral reefs. The evening opens with the composer herself performing as a duo alongside her longtime creative partner and yMusic cellist Gabriel Cabezas, playing music from their acclaimed album Lost Coast and more.
Featuring:
yMusic: Allison Loggins-Hull (flutes), Mark Dover (clarinets), CJ Camerieri (trumpet), Rob Moose (violin), Nadia Sirota (viola), Gabriel Cabezas (cello)
Gabriella Smith + Gabriel Cabezas Duo: Gabriella Smith (voice, violin, electronics) and Gabriel Cabezas (cello, electronics)
