Steve Reich, Different Trains
DACAMERA presents Steve Reich's haunting Different Trains-originally performed by St. Lawrence String Quartet for DACAMERA audiences in April 2018-on Friday, Oct. 30. Presented with original synchronized video by video artist Mihai Cucu, the program interweaves live and pre-recorded string quartet with sounds of trains, whistles, sirens, recorded voices from the American past and fragmented memories of Holocaust survivors.
Messiaen: Visions De L'amen
Olivier Messiaen's virtuosic tour-de-force for two pianos, Visions de l'Amen, originally performed by pianists Marilyn Nonken and Sarah Rothenberg in 2015, becomes a stunning visual experience with lighting by Jennifer Tipton. Composed in 1943 and premiered by Messiaen and the 20-year old pianist Yvonne Loriod, his future wife (with whom Rothenberg studied in Paris), Messiaen's mystical work moves from darkness to an ecstatic conclusion of luminous color and brilliance.
Tyshawn Sorey, Perle Noire
Originally debuted on the DACAMERA stage in June 2016, the unique and poignant evening honors the brilliance, daring, public courage and private tragedies of African American icon, Josephine Baker. Rising-star soprano Julia Bullock finds inspiration in the legendary singer's story in Josephine Baker: A Personal Portrait, conceived by Peter Stellars.

Hearing Color, Seeing Time
DACAMERA at the Menil Collection
Hybrid Vigor
Frankenthaler and Ravel: Helen Frankenthaler's 1973 painting becomes the dramatic backdrop for Rothenberg's performance of Une barque sur l'ocean (1905), a sensuous solo piano work by Maurice Ravel. Rothenberg then leads audiences, from the piano, in a spontaneous discussion of color, line, texture and harmony in abstract painting and music.
The Departing Landscape
A film by Sarah Rothenberg: Conceived and directed by pianist Sarah Rothenberg, The Departing Landscape features her performance of Morton Feldman's last piano piece, Palais de Mari (1986), filmed by John Carrithers in the Menil Collection's Arts of the Ancient World gallery. Rothenberg performs Feldman's work surrounded by treasures dating back to 2800 B.C.E. - talismans of a distant past that inspired the composer, and which have survived to today. Please find a photo here.
Cy Twombly and Music
This recital by contemporary music star Claire Chase is filmed at The Menil Collection's Cy Twombly Gallery, a Renzo Piano-designed building dedicated to the iconic artist's work. Chase's program includes works by Felipe Lara, Marcos Balter and Suzanne Farrin, along with a world premiere by Erik Ulman, who developed an unusual friendship with the painter through years of correspondence. The concert will be followed by a virtual artist talk with Ulman and Chase, discussing Twombly's work with DACAMERA Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg.
