Introduction by Prof. Karlheinz Essl

Kalimba! presents an intriguing program for kalimba solo (and electronics) -with US premieres by Anthony De Ritis, Karlheinz Essl, Annie Gosfield, Lukas, Ligeti and Oliver Schneller alongside pieces by Sascha Lino Lemke, David
Lang and Manfred Stahnke. While frequently used in ethnic music, the kalimbais yet to be established as a vital new music instrument. The goal of this program is to anchor it more firmly in the new music repertoire as a solo instrument.

At the Hawk’s Well is one of five plays by Irish poet W. B. Yeats based on the mythological hero Cuchulain. In Fisher’s operatic version, the spirit Guardian will be performed by choreographer and dancer Christy Fisher. Other performers include: vocalists Jeremiah Cawley, Maria Mannisto Seattle), Kristen Ramer Liang; flutist Clifford Dunn (Seattle); 6-string fretted acoustic bass (Greg Bagley); Indian harmonium players Esther Sugai (Seattle) and Garrett Fisher (New York/Boston), and percussion and gong player Dean Moore. Music Direction is by Jeremiah
Cawley. Dramaturgy is by longtime collaborator Ken Cerniglia (New York-based dramaturg for Disney Theatrical, including Julie Taymor’s The Lion King).
