Alkemie Medieval Music Ensemble (Chamber ensemble)
"A Worthy Mirror"
A time-traveling dialogue with the 12th-century trobairitz-–the feminine counterpart of the poet-composers known as troubadours. Together with Amanda Gookin (of Forward Music Project), we commissioned eleven female and non-binary composers to respond to and converse with the 36 extant trobairitz texts (of which we only have music for one). This body of lyric poetry represents a large group of historically female and anonymous femme voices in the literary tradition. Witty, ironic, heartbreaking and erotic, these texts present a mirror to reflect upon what feels foreign about the past and what feels familiar, what is the role of gender and self in relationships, and how do we make space for the multiplicities of identity, both in the 12th century and today.
In collaboration with video artist Charles Mueller, we created videos for each composition that interpolate footage imagined and captured by Alkemie in our surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods, juxtaposing whimsical and arresting symbolic imagery with the Occitan poetry and studio recording that forms the foundation of this project. The Secret Loft, Ridgewood, NY and online
Admission: $15-$50; tickets at alkemie.org/events.
For more info: 929-445-8613
The concert will be available to view online through November 30.
