A Certain Slant of Light: The Immortal Words of Emily Dickinson in Song at Blackheath Uniting Church

Emily Dickinson spent most of her life in a single room, but her imagination has reached far beyond 19th century Amherst. In her solitude, she penned nearly 1,800 poems capturing the textures of grief, wonder, death, nature, and divinity with astonishing clarity and depth. Her inner world, vast and unspeakably rich, and her style of writing, uniquely musical, has captivated readers and artists for generations.

In A Certain Slant of Light, Operantics invites you to step into that luminous interior. This evocative program features a collection of art songs and chamber works by 20th and 21st century composers who have given Dickinson’s poetry new voice through music. The program will include works by Aaron Copland, Andre Previn, Lori Laitman, Libby Larsen, Anne Cawrse and Ian Ricky Gordon.

Featuring Laura Scandizzo, Elena Marcello, Sarah Cherlin and Nathaniel Kong on piano.
