Senso di Voce is: Megan Kyle (oboe, English horn) & Esin Gunduz (voice, composition, tremolo harmonica, bass harmonica, harmonium). The duo focuses on the embodied experience of varying acoustical phenomena. Implementing the unique acoustic properties of their instruments and of the performance space, they create otherworldly performances that reveal the interconnected timbral threads among new music and early music from diverse cultural traditions. This, combined with improvisation and movement, brings audiences into an immersive experience that transcends expectations.Their performance features a brand new piece by Esin for the duo, commissioned through a Classical Commissioning Grant from Chamber Music America*. Inspired by the writings of revolutionary Islamic thinker İbn 'Arabî (1165-1240), ‘...through itself...’ is an exploration of his profound philosophical concepts,
through sound. The piece will be followed by improvisations that expand on this sonic world.
Senso di Voce’s previous work includes multiple performances for Silo City, a collection of repurposed grain elevators in Buffalo, NY. They have created performances and sound installations in partnership with several art museums and art festivals in Western New York. Tierceron, their album of improvisations with collaborator Henry Birdsey, was released on Other Minds Records (San Francisco) in 2023.
*This commission has been made possible by the Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Program, with
generous funding provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Doors will open at 6:30. The performance will begin at 7:00. We expect the evening to wind down by 9:00 p.m. (it's a school night, folks!).
