Back in June, we were thrilled to be invited to moderate a conversation hosted by Maine Asian American Community Center and Opera Maine with Emmy Award-winning composer and musician Vanessa Van-Anh Vo and Director Richard Gammon as they mounted the Opera "Bound" by composer Huang Ruo and librettist Bao-Long Chu. We're now thrilled to share this conversation with the world! In this conversation, we explore Vanessa's artistic journey, her work with traditional Vietnamese instruments, and the power of music to bridge cultures, communities, and lived experiences. View the whole interview on our Youtube Channel. #Opera #AsianAmerican #VietnameseMusic #InConversationSeries #Community

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and for everyone who made it so meaningful. Having the opportunity to bring Diane to life was both a joy and a valuable learning experience, and I’m so thankful for everything this role taught me. Thank you to Opera Maine for this opportunity, to Director Richard and Conductor Lance for your guidance and encouragement, to Pianist Brendon for your beautiful musicianship and support, to my teachers for always believing in me, and to Composer Huang Ruo for so generously sharing your music and guide us. It was a privilege to learn from you. To my castmates and everyone behind the scenes — Stacey, CeCe, thank you for making this such a joyful and welcoming experience. And a special thank you to Vanessa for your kindness and for always looking out for me. Finally, thank you to everyone who came to see Bound. I’m so grateful for everything I learned, the wonderful people I met, and the memories I’ll carry with me. 🩵🐚💙🌊🤍🌅

25x25 is out NOW on Cantaloupe Music - and we’re continuing to release music videos by @fourtenmedia for each amazing work on the album. This week, it’s Vân-Ánh Võ and Jason Treuting’s co-composed In True Dialogue! In true collaboration, Võ and Jason Treuting created In True Dialogue, a musical conversation between Võ’s instrument and voice and Sō, performing on the instrument that Aron Sanchez and Bryce Dessner created for us - the “chord sticks.” They were originally used for Dessner’s Music for Wood and Strings. Enjoy “In True Dialogue” on Youtube, and on 25x25, out NOW from Cantaloupe Music!

Reposted from @sopercussion // Since our founding 25 years ago, we have worked with AMAZING composers and performers, and now that we’re noting this milestone season, we are celebrating not with a retrospective release, but with an 8-disc box set featuring 500 minutes of entirely new and previously-unreleased recordings of 21st century music, each piece written for, in collaboration with, and premiered by Sō Percussion: 25x25. Released September 26 from Cantaloupe Music (from the founders of Bang on a Can), and recorded, produced and mixed by GRAMMY-award-winning producer Matt Poirier, this box set both offers a vivid portrait of the power of innovative percussion music, and a compelling forecast of where contemporary chamber music is heading. And each piece has been gorgeously filmed by Four/Ten Media for release over the course of the Fall. Pre-order and learn more at sopercussion.com/25x25 Check out the trailer, and get ready to hear music from: @little_miss_echo @borayoonmusic @carolineadelaideshaw @c_nk_rg_n @clairerousay @dandeacon @troomtheshroom @donnachadennehy @ericbradleychabeach @jasontreuting @composerjuri @kendallk.williams @annezilotti @dancermlove @njoachim @robynckj @shodargan @sopercussion @steven_mackey @suzannefarrincomposer @tristanperich @vanessavananhvo @vijayiyer
