Solo Piano and Vocal Music of Joelle Wallach in Mexico and Alaska on March 21
Posted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement
Solo piano and vocal music of Joelle Wallach will be heard at locations in Mexico and Alaska on Sunday, March 21:
Pianist Ana Cervantes (http://www.cervantespiano.com/) will present the Mexican Premiere of Ms. Wallach’s Voices of the Iron Harp for solo piano as part of De Tripas Corazon: Creación de mujeres (From Guts, Heart: Women’s Creation) on March 21 – 1 PM at Casa Museo Gene Byron, located at Calle Real de Marfil in Marfil, Guanajato, Mexico.
Voices of the Iron Harp is a love song, almost a farewell to the piano. It uses an open-ended variation form as well as the heroic poetic gestures of 19th and 20th century piano literature to explore and evoke the variety and gradations of mood and sound available through the keyboard from the heart of the iron harp inside.

Soprano Connie Oba will perform Ms. Wallach’s She Walks in Beauty and Pussycat Love Song as part of A Concert for the Animals, also on March 21 – 6 PM at Pioneer Park Centennial Theater in Fairbanks, Alaska. The concert will benefit the Fairbanks Animal Shelter Fund.
Both songs were inspired by the composer’s cats and are from her Meow Mix song cycle. More about it at http://www.joellewallach.com/meowmix.html.
