Will Rowe will receive two performances of his works this May. On May 1st, soprano
Alondra Vega will perform the song Coated Macadam (Mender) from Will's cycle 5 Views Re/Dux, scored for soprano, cello, and piano. The performance is part of Vega's series Music Drama Through Art Song, of which this year's theme is In Wonderland.
Will's second performance will be a concerto premiere - a commission from
The Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra and
The Skylark Quartet. Scored for four solo horns with strings and percussion, Rowemance will be premiered in Seattle on May 19th as part of the SMCO's regular concert series, and performed again May 20th at the Fred Wildlife Refuge in a club setting. Rowemance is a strange bedfellow companion piece to Beethoven's second Romance (the other soloist feature on the May 19th concert), though the piece explores facets and ideas of romance that did not exist during the time in which the musical form was popular.
