Inspiration and memory abound four eclectic works on tonight’s program. Anthony De Ritis’ Jiggedy, Jingle, Jaunty, Jaunty a world premiere for orchestra and electronics, pays homage to two 20th-century giants, James Joyce and Luciano Berio through a dialogue that stretches across time. BMOP welcomes soprano Julia Bullock for Samuel Barber’s iconic Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a setting of James Agee’s 1938 prose text whose childlike recollection of a summer evening remains one of Barber’s most beloved creations. In addition, Ms. Bullock also performs two movements from Matthew Aucoin’s The No One’s Rose, settings of poems by Paul Celan that explore memory, language, and loss. The evening concludes with Charles Wuorinen’s Delight of the Muses, a homage to Mozart built from material in Don Giovanni—by turns outlandish, sentimental, and a rousing good time, this ballet shows this iconic American composer at his irreverent best.

Impressions features pieces that can be connected to a style of art that either influenced the piece directly or was heavily prominent in the region where it was created at the time it was written.

Spanning generations and continents, the composers on this program ask what it means to endure, to hold multiple identities, and to cherish what is most fragile and fleeting. All We Are honors moments, both ordinary and remarkable, whose significance is often only understood in hindsight.
