Date: 4/28/25 9:01 am From: Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes <cth4...> Subject: [cayugabirds-l] This Friday: Hope is the Thing with Feathers — Ithaca College Concert
For those interested, this Friday, May 2 at 6:00pm, ornithologist Stephen W. Kress will present a pre-concert lecture about Arctic Terns at the Hockett Recital Hall at Ithaca College.
Immediately following, at 7:00pm in Ford Hall, is the premier of the Hope is the Thing with Feathers concert.
On Friday May 2 (2025) in Ford Hall at 7 pm, Ithaca College presents an evening of music inspired by birds, myth and nature. The shared program features Contemporary Chamber Ensemble (CCE) and Treble Chorus.
Conducted by Christopher Coletti and Ho-Yin Kwok, CCE selections include John Luther Adams' delicate Wood Thrush and Leo Brouwer's powerful Los Negros Brujos Se Divierten.
In the second half of the program, Treble Chorus, conducted by Sean Linfors, is joined by soprano Rachel Schutz, tenor Omar Najmi and string faculty (Faran, Kwok, Armbrust, Hesselink and Jarvis) to present the world premiere of Sally McCune's dramatic Stella Maris, Stella Caeli, Sterna Paradisaea.
A semi-staged work with text by Orkney poet Yvonne Gray, the 30-minute cantata celebrates the Arctic Tern, an adept but now threatened survivor in a rapidly changing world. The production features choreography by Amy O'Brien and projections by Ben Robinson.
A pre-concert talk on Arctic Terns will be offered by world-renowned ornithologist Stephen W. Kress at 6 pm in Hockett Recital Hall.
Not to be missed!
