October 1, 2023 \u2013 June 30, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aru\u00e1n Ortiz will work on a new collaboration with Ana\u00efs Maviel entitled Reimagining Tropiques: Then and Now<\/em>, a full-length musical work that will examine the articles, comments and essays on negritude, creolization, and transatlantic Surrealism published by the Martinican magazine Tropiques <\/em>from 1941-1945. Using the magazine\u2019s articles, as a structural canvas Ana\u00efs and Aru\u00e1n will build their collaboration as a series of musical essays, articles, and individual and joint work on social, political, and cultural issues that resonate both with this present moment and to those raised by the C\u00e9saires in the 1940s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This piece will be co-composed by Ortiz and Maviel, and scored for voice, percussion, piano, cello, integrating elements that explore the cultural syncretism between the French modernism and the Afro-Caribbean experience and bridge the generational views from 1940s to the present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 1, 2023 \u2013 December 31, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alon Nechushtan Quartet brings to life the stories of migration from the refugee camp of Calais to the front steps of Ellis Island, with the struggles of adaptation to a new world in tow. Juxtapositions between perspectives present the promise of hope and idealization of journeys to the US with the terror-inspiring survival stories of the French migrant camp known as \u201cthe Jungle\u201d to serve as the impetus in this movingly ambitious project led by Israeli-born acclaimed pianist and composer, Alon Nechushtan. The narrative\u2019s destination is aimed to amplify these voices and other inspirational stories centered around ordinary people who make extraordinary voyages, moving their voices and their bodies from and to new homes, selecting exemplary poetry by Faiz Ahmad Faiz (Pakistan), Lenrie Peters (Gambia\/Sierra Leone) along with younger voices, such as Omer \u2013 a resident of the \u2018Jungle\u2019 immigration refugee camp, one among the gripping and vivid moving voices traversing time, space, and place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayne, NJ ; New York, NY <\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 1, 2023 \u2013 May 31, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mantra Percussion will showcase the vision of French composer Florent Ghys and immerse audiences in a multi-dimensional evening-length performance using instruments, electronics, and a series of video interviews with immigrants from various socio-economic backgrounds, from both the US and France. These interviews will be transformed into a musical tapestry with the technique of \u201cspeech melody,\u201d where the spoken words are transposed into melodic lines. The project carries with it a message about the need for inclusion, acceptance, and anti-racism amidst global migration. The project will also embrace cutting-edge AI tools (ChatGPT and Dalle-2), to create an experience that blurs the boundaries between physical and digital realms. These tools will generate text and visuals that will interplay with elements made by the musicians, challenging and enhancing the interplay between human and artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strasbourg, France  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project aims to pay homage to the work of Grammy nominated American composer, singer and bandleader Ted Hearne. Despite certain European countries being aware of Hearne\u2019s powerful musical contribution, notably his ongoing collaboration with the Gaudeamus Festival in Utrecht, in France his music has not yet been performed. In collaboration with the Festival Musica, one of France\u2019s most prestigious new music events, lovemusic, through two different concerts in the 2023 edition of Musica hope to bring Ted Hearne\u2019s music to the French public. In a first concert on September 16, 2023 the collective will perform his 2010 work \u201cNobody\u2019s\u201d as part of their project Mappa dell\u2019inferno<\/em>. And on the September 22, 2023 lovemusic will have the great honour of performing Ted Hearne\u2019s seminal work \u201cPlace\u201d alongside the composer himself and a part of the ensemble that created this 75-minute master piece in a collaborative project between French and American artists.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Creation by Lucie de Saint Vincent (FR) ; Maribeth Diggle (US) <\/strong>
October 1, 2023 \u2013 April 30, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an age where gender and transgender politics are allowed to be openly examined, relating to literature where God was made \u201cHe\u201d and Jesus as a \u201cson\u201d can feel difficult to relate to. Recent reexamining of gender stories also sheds new light on historical female figures of the bible and the recent uncovering of the false reputations given to those female players as a form of oppression and control. Passio<\/em> will deal with stories of the suffrage of women\u2019s bodies (or the \u201cflesh\u201d), the sacrificial acts carried out by feminine figures, a resurrection of their representation, and a look at the fine line we face in losing our gained personal freedoms even today. Composer\/pianist Lucie de Saint Vincent and stage director\/soprano Maribeth Diggle will continue their collaboration together with international performers on this shared topic of interest, with supportive venues in France, the United States, Belgium and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commission will serve as a cornerstone project for a new Talea initiative\u2013the Talea Ambassadors program\u2014 which will focus on cultural exchange with artists and composers from a different country or region each season\u2013 and in the 2022-23 season will launch with a highlight on early career French composers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
