*Mirror Visions Ensemble Commission

As the New York Times aptly states, MIRROR VISIONS' "programs are shaped with an ear to the poetry of song texts." The initial interest of the ensemble comprised of soprano Vira Slywotzky, tenor Scott Murphree, and baritone Jesse Blumberg was the back-to-back performance of multiple settings of a single text.

Led by Artistic Director and co-founder Tobé Malawista, the ensemble has commissioned more than 80 vocal chamber music works from 18 composers, including Christopher Berg, Tom Cipullo, Richard Lalli, Gilda Lyons, Russell Platt, Richard Pearson Thomas, Francine Trester, Scott Wheeler and Yehudi Wyner. Past seasons include performances at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, Merkin Hall, Bargemusic, SubCulture(Le) Poisson Rouge, Lincoln Center's Library for the Performing Arts, New York University's Frederick Loewe Theatre,and Bard College's Longy School of Music, as well as frequent appearances in Paris at the American University of Paris, the American Church in Paris, Musée Carnavalet, Musée Nissim de Camondo and Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
