Wellesley College concert—”Requiem for the Adrift and Shattered”
February 8 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
EVENT: Concert
DATE: Feb. 8
TIME: 7:30pm
LOCATION: Houghton Chapel, Wellesley College
COST: Free
DESCRIPTION: Requiem for the Adrift and Shattered combines poetry, film, and solo piano music to foster reflection and catharsis in the wake of the 2020 pandemic. Inspired by the great requiems of classical music’s European past, but with the aim of fostering a more inclusive space for audiences to grieve today’s losses and injustices, Requiem features new musical works by living composers Emily Koh (Singapore/USA), Rex Isenberg (USA), Nkeiru Okoye (USA), and Reinaldo Moya (USA), along with a film by Deonna Weatherly (USA). The hour-long concert, curated and performed by concert pianist, Clare Longendyke (USA), aims to inspire audiences to act towards a more just and peaceful society.
A pianist with “an artistic ferocity that captivated and astonished listeners” (Waverly Newspapers), Clare Longendyke is a soloist, chamber musician, and musical innovator who performs with American orchestras and on recital series around the world. A charming and charismatic performer, Clare’s passion for the music she plays radiates through the way she speaks from the concert stage. She has a contagious commitment to the music of our time, and her programming celebrates works by favorite composers of the past while creating space for those who are paving the way toward classical music’s more inclusive future.
