[BROADCAST] Library of Congress Boccaccio Project: Flutist Erin Lessor premieres "Hello World"
Free (Free)
Erin Lesser, flute
Erin Rogers – Hello World (world premiere)
Concerts from the Library of Congress developed the Boccaccio Project to provide some artistic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ten composers were commissioned to write brief solo works, with the remotely recorded pieces to be premiered online in June 2020.
About the work
"Orbiting a sonic portal to the outer world, a flutist self-arranges within a mirrored video frame. The face-to-face encounter sets the scene for introduction, reintroduction, and exploration."
~ Erin Rogers
The livestream will take place at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific.
