Bach, Shakespeare and Elephants

In this dadaist program, the Bach refers to an aria from the St. John Passion sung by baritone Thomas Meglioranza, and the Shakespeare is manifested in song settings by Carter, Pinkham, Sibelius and Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe. As for the elephants, they somehow figure in the world premiere of guitarist-composer David Leisner’s piece A Timeless Procession. The dynamic young Enso String Quartet comes along for the ride.
