Sonnambula continues its Frick residency with a program that juxtaposes selections from the concerto della donne tradition of "secret" music making, featuring star soprano Song Hee Lee. The concert also features the world premiere of Secrets by composer Gregory Spears, commissioned by The Frick Collection and inspired by the enigmatic gaze of the sitter in Giovanni Battista Moroni’s Portrait of a Woman (1575) from the collection. Utilizing a blend of modern instruments, Renaissance viols, and the voices of acclaimed vocal trio ModernMedieval Voices, (Chloe Holgate, Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, Olivia Greene) Secrets explores capacity of the “sonic gaze” to examine convergences between the imagined sounds of the past and the potential for music of today.
