ABOUT BOUND
This November 2018, Artistic Director Joel Ivany and Music Director Topher Mokrzewski collaborate with recent Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award winner, composer Kevin Lau, to bring Handel’s music—which evokes themes of abandonment, neglect and betrayal—into the present. In the wake of the world’s refugee crisis, this chamber concert presentation will explore the current state of those displaced, dehumanized and mistreated, with texts and stories drawn from real-life news articles and world events. #AtGBound is the second workshop in a three-year “concept to realization” production, which launched last year. Sung in English. New English libretto by Joel Ivany and chamber orchestra led by Topher Mokrzewski.
