Hearing Voices January 22, 2010

With special guest Ursula K. Le Guin.

Words and music combine in stories that delight, taking us on magical journeys into troll-infested woods, to planets where mechanical beings communicate in musical tones, to Italo Calvino’s magically realist Italy, or even back to George Orwell’s “1984,” which is retold as a romantic comedy. We premiere “Gulliver in FaReMiDo” by Oregon Symphony resident conductor Gregory Vajda, “Serpentine Variations: The Serpent King” by Robert Kyr, and “Greetings from 1984” by Jon Deak. Special guest Ursula K. Le Guin narrates her “A Ride on the Red Mare’s Back” accompanied by Bryan Johanson’s lovely score.
