SUMMER PLAY LAB: Newly Commissioned Works-in-Progress at Ancram Opera House

"None: A Practical Breviary" makes reference to “The Divine Offices” or the “Canonical Hours,” a series of eight short masses sung at three-hour intervals by cloistered Catholic nuns and monks. An hour of musical hybrids, mixing classical forms with pop music, jazz and blues set against NASA recordings of planetary music “singing” to create a new kind of cosmic gospel. Obie Award winning composer/performer Heather Christian was a 2019 Ancram Opera House Artist-in-Residence.
