Event
Matt Peters Performs Michael Torke's 'After the Forest Fire' (BPT)
The Musicians:
Matt Peters - Marimba
Alyson Berger - Cello
Sara Wertanen - Flute
The Music:
The concert will feature Michael Torke's 'After the Forest Fire', a lyrical trio for marimba, cello, and flute. The composer invites the listener to imagine smoke rising from the charred remains of a very recent forest fire, with the lingering memories of life that was once there. The cello introduces the resigned, sad phrase. As this develops and becomes more animated, it is as if perimeter fires have re-ignited; the devastation refuses to quit. But finally, in a sunnier key, the last part of the piece brings a promise of renewal; sprouts of vegetation appear. By the ending, we understand that a cycle is restored, and the forest begins its regrowth. Nature has its own way of healing itself.
The concert program will include:
The Peters Variations - Christopher Dietz
Silenzio della Terra - Jane O'Leary
Supersoft - Stefan Weissman
Syrinx - Claude Debussy
After Syrinx II - Richard Rodney Bennett
After the Forest Fire - Michael Torke
