Rubble Becomes Art

About this work:
for Mezzo Soprano, Flute, Bassoon, and Guitar
(optional: Mezzo Soprano, Violin, Violoncello, and Guitar)
Commissioned by Kate Steinbeck and Pan Harmonia
"Rubble Becomes Art" is a triptych of art songs commissioned by flutist Kate Steinbeck, founder and director of Pan Harmonia (PanHarmonia.org), marking the chamber music organization's 20th season. The composition sets to music the poetry of three North Carolina women writers on the themes of inclusivity and exclusivity regarding cultural, economic, and gender issues. The three poems, although distinct in their style and thematic content, present a cohesive call to healing and reconciliation, not only as it pertains to the injustices suffered by women, but the humanity as a whole.
This project is partially underwritten by the North Carolina Arts Council Program Support Grant along with generous support from private donors.
