"No More Walks in the Wood"

Songs about Trees

​Featuring three world premieres by composers Theo Chandler, Ben Morris, Martin Blessinger and poets Mark Sanders and karla k. morton

Pianist Maggie Hinchliffe and soprano Rose Kearin present a recital tour of classical art songs inspired by trees and nature. Beginning with historical repertoire by composers such as Schubert and Debussy and concluding with the premiere of three new works by Texas-based poets and composers, this program asks the listener to reflect on their relationship to nature through the lens of music and poetry. How are trees represented in classical music? How do we express our appreciation for nature in Texas?
