William Grant Still's Three Songs for Flute and Piano features text by poets Countee Cullen and Verna Arvey. Valerie Coleman's Wish Sonatine is inspired by poet Fred D'Aguiar's work and depicts the brutality and tragedy of the Middle Passage. Coleman's Fanmi Imèn is Haitian Creole for Maya Angelou's famous work Human Family in which the poet reminds us "we are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike." BRENTANO STRING QUARTET AND DAWN UPSHAW DIDO REIMAGINED Tuesday, October 25, 7:30 pm A collaboration with the University of Iowa String Quartet Residency Program "Dido of ancient times, whether real or fictional, had no choice," writes librettist Stephanie Fleischmann. "Our Dido, however, has the power to determine her own fate." Fleischmann and composer Melinda Wagner's Dido Reimagined brings an ancient myth into contemporary reality. Soprano Dawn Upshaw and the Brentano String Quartet will share music inspired by the Dido story culminating in a stirring performance of Wagner's and Fleischmann's reimagining.
