National Sawdust: ChamberQueer Pride Festival

ChamberQUEER 2022 opens their two-show engagement at National Sawdust on June 10 by drawing centuries of music into conversation – juxtaposing boundary-breaking Renaissance nuns with the voices of three fantastic emerging composers drawn from our 2020 Call for Scores: Connor D’Netto, Alexis Lamb, and Rosśa Crean. The concert weaves these musical worlds together through reflective improvisations that converse with multifaceted experiences of queerness across the centuries. Confirmed performers for June 10 include violinist Mazz Swift and baritone vocalist Lucas Bouk alongside the core ChamberQUEER ensemble of Jules Biber, Danielle Buonaiuto, Brian Mummert, and Andrew Yee, with more artists TBA.

What is special about Moving Landscapes is that while each performance is an expression of its own, each artist will also engage and participate in recreating the space from what is left behind by the other two. The vestige of each work will activate the ancestry of the next, supporting our ideas emerging from community, conviviality, and identity. All three artists explore a universe as individuals and share the space as a collaboration: one space, three different perceptions.

WILLIAM PARKER “TRAIL OF TEARS – A CONTINUUM 1492-2022”

WILLIAM PARKER “TRAIL OF TEARS – A CONTINUUM 1492-2022”

In jazz, radical honesty is best represented by William Parker. His compositions are blunt, and they always display – albeit indirectly – strong political convictions. However, the double bass player will not play with your nerves. Neither will he up the stakes. His music, while full of awareness, is also infinitely humble. This sound poem gives a fresh example of the way languages are linked by what Parker calls “universal tonality”. Jazz, opera, and folk music coexist in this brilliantly crafted piece which re-examines the Trail of Tears, an important episode in the history of the United States of America, during which some 100.000 members of the Cherokee and Choctaw were forcibly relocated after being relentlessly and violently dispossessed. Parker’s account is blunt but full of love and searing truth.
