The Lydian Quartet will premiere “seeking all that’s still unsung” on April 6, 2024 in Slosberg Hall on the Brandeis University campus. “seeking all that’s still unsung” is inspired by the world that surrounds us in its "current" present, both visible and acknowledged and unseen and unacknowledged. It contemplates what is missing from our world because the passage of time has brought about evolution, extinction, forgetting, erasure, and obliteration. Using source material from The Sacred Harp songbook and a speech by Greta Thunberg, the work imagines what changes are possible as we move into our uncertain future. This work was made possible by the Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Program, with generous funding provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
