Karl Larson
ætherplough: is pleased to present Messiaen, an evening of contemporary music and conversation featuring the work of the composer Olivier Messiaen, best known for his extensive use of birdsong in his compositions. Visiting artist, Karl Larson, will be joined
by ætherplough collaborator, Amanda DeBoer in a program of piano and voice that
explores the exquisite beauty and power of Messiaen.
A post-performance talk back will provide the opportunity to discuss Messiaen's harmonic language, how he inspired composers who came after him, his synesthetic tendencies,
and, of course, bird song.
Messiaen is presented in preparation for ætherplough’s original performance,
The Archeology of Birdsong.
Thank you to Karl Larson, pianist and Amanda DeBoer, vocalist
for the wonderful Messiaen performance at the Omaha Conservatory of Music.
