Allegra Chamber Orchestra’s 2023 FestivELLE x ACWC
ACWC is excited to partner and help promote Allegra Chamber Orchestra’s 2023 edition of festivELLE, presented in partnership with Astrolabe Musik Theatre.
It is a bi-annual festival celebrating female-identifying composers and artists, the 2023 edition of festivELLE runs June 29-30th, and will feature the North American premiere of Hearing Voices by Jocelyn Pook for soprano, tape, projections, and orchestra. It is a work that incorporates the physical voices, doctor’s notes, and detailed medical records of five women institutionalized for mental health issues from the 1900’s to 1970’s, interacting with the soprano soloist and orchestra. They will also pay tribute to the extraordinary music and legacy of Jocelyn Morlock, present a preview of Alice Ping Yee Ho’s latest opera, and curate several of the extraordinary works created in our Composer Incubator 2021.
This festival also celebrates Canadian composers Jocelyn Pook, Sasha Kow and ACWC composers Alice Ping Yee Ho, Marie Alice Conrad, and Holly Winter.
