A Solo Cello Experience by Sandro Sidamonidze Presented by Cello Beyond Borders Multi award-winning cellist Sandro Sidamonidze. Opus Klassik Nominee and German Recording Critics’ Award Nominee, presents ONE MAN SHOW, a continuous solo cello program conceived as a single uninterrupted musical journey rather than a traditional recital. The evening opens with Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s Passacaglia in G minor (“The Guardian Angel”) one of the earliest and most visionary works written for an unaccompanied string instrument. Built over an unchanging bass pattern, the music unfolds like a solitary prayer,meditative, and timeless, forming the ritual threshold of the evening. From there, the program traces a path through the architectural clarity of Johann Sebastian Bach, into the intensely human, dance-driven language of Gaspar Cassadó, and finally toward the chant-like sound world of contemporary Armenian composer Adam Khudoyan.

Ephrat Asherie collaborates with GRAMMY® award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill on the company’s newest creation, Shadow Cities, a reflection on the beauty, vastness and joy of the in-between. Bringing together Asherie’s innovative and rigorous choreography with O’Farrill’s singular and mesmerizing sound, Shadow Cities is a beautiful extension of EAD’s dedication to working with live music. With a cast of 6 dancers and 4 musicians, this work explores what it means to stay afloat in the in-between. We are split between cities, memories and generations; we are an amalgam of cultures, fully embodied and fragmented all at once; our movements are concurrently malleable and explosive, our identities fixed and infinitely fluid. Whether as immigrants, BIPOC identities or first generation Americans, this feeling of in-betweenness connects everyone in the work as we ask how and why—halfway between so many disparate extremes in time, space and state—we often feel our most enlivened selves.

By capturing the beauty and vulnerability of our natural world through his lens, avid adventurer, wildlife photographer, and storm chaser Keith Ladzinski reminds us all of the profound interconnectedness between humans and the natural environment. Whether dangling from ropes thousands of feet up to document first ascents in interior Antarctica, storm chasing in Tornado Alley, scaling ancient giant Redwoods, or diving with wild alligators in the Florida Everglades, Ladzinski goes to the extreme to capture the moment and share it with us. Journey to the farthest reaches of our planet in this sweeping look at nature and man.

Smart, sophisticated partnership of violin and guitar soloists at the top of their craft One would be forgiven for thinking that high-profile instrumental soloists prefer to “work alone.” On occasion, however, the stars align, and these extraordinary artists form unique collaborations to the enjoyment of all. We are pleased to welcome to our stage violinist Anne Akiko Meyers and classical guitarist Jason Vieaux for a special duo performance. Cutting-edge works by Philip Glass and Arturo Marquez weave together with music by Stravinsky and Piazzolla to create an international tapestry. The program also features a new piece by recent Kennedy Center Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates, of whom Ms. Meyers, famed for her impressive body of commissioned works, is a frequent muse. Together with Mr. Vieaux, called by NPR “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation,” this duo promises to ignite the mind and inspire the heart.

What is more operatic than the God of Love saving the world or a one-eyed warrior queen standing up for her people and fighting against oppression. Maryland Opera’s newest initiative, New Voices in Opera, brings fresh operatic works to the stage. The evening features a double bill of new works: Oshun by B.E. Boykin tells the story of the gods in the pantheon of the Ifa religion as they seek to bring rain to the lands of their worshippers. Kandake by Timothy Amukele recounts the trials of the one-eyed warrior queen, Amanirenas, as she fights to repel the Romans and protect her people. Both works feature a libretto by Jarrod Lee. These creators all have a strong connection to our performing community here in the greater Baltimore area. The performance will also include a mini recital with students from Morgan State and Towson Universities performing selections by African American composers.
