Sophia Brous and Kit Downes
THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Set Pieces is a new project exploring the evocative interplay between words and music. It features New York-Australian interdisciplinary performer, vocalist, and composer Sophia Brous (EXO-TECH, The Invisible Opera), in collaboration with Mercury Prize–nominated pianist, organist and ECM recording artist Kit Downes. The project draws on a deep alchemical dialogue between the two musicians, where a gradually evolving song cycle is created in real-time, using a libretto created especially for each performance, highlighting the work of a particular twentieth-century modernist poet. In Set Pieces, the duo create show-specific compositional cycles, working in collaboration with text dramaturg, author and Yale University Press senior editor Jessie Kindig.

This New York premiere performance will feature a cycle of prose poetry written by Argentinian Russian-Jewish poet Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972), in English translation by Yvette Siegert.
