Description

New Lens is a free concert series exploring diverse and intriguing sounds and ideas in new music, art and society, presented by 90.5 WUOL Classical Louisville and 21c Museum Hotel. August's New Lens features Longleash, a piano trio with a traditional instrumentation and a progressive identity. The concert will take place in the Louisville Public Media Performance Studio at 619 South 4th St. "Far from Shore" explores distance, separation, reunification and transformation as sources of artistic inspiration, solace, and unexpected beauty. In James Diaz's "In Her Dream Song" the three performers orbit one another, shifting between separation and alignment in kaleidoscopic textures. Linda Catlin Smith's "Far from Shore" captures stillness from afar, painting a hazy seascape with spare outlines and gently undulating rhythms. In Anthony Vine's "Trio," the 13th century Montpellier Codex finds itself transformed and reimagined in a contemporary context for violin, cello, and harmonium. Anthony Cheung's Flyway Detour draws inspiration from the phenomena of avian migration, and finds beauty in drifting from predetermined paths. In Baldwin Giang's Gaudeamus Award nominated "Songs after Sufjan," Giang turns to the songs of singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens for creative inspiration in the face of loss and isolation. New Lens is free, but seating is limited and a ticket is required. Seating opens at 6:30 p.m. and the program begins at 7 p.m. COVID protocols are subject to change based on the safety level of Jefferson County as tracked by the CDC.
