Translations is a concert of vocal music
featuring the singer Jessika Kenney in performances of compositions by
composer and Gamelan Pacifica Director Jarrad Powell. This concert
focuses on the process of translation - the translation of poetry from
one language into another, the translation of poetry by the composer
into musical composition, the translation by the performer of musical
composition into living sound. Powell and Kenney have worked in a close
collaboration for many years, both in Gamelan Pacifica and in a variety
of other performance projects. All the vocal compositions featured on
this concert were composed specifically for Kenney. She, in turn,
brings her own creative musical _expression and vocal background to
help define the unique genre of this music. Joining Powell and Kenney
will be violist Eyvind Kang, vocalist Stephen Fandrich, violinist Tom
Swafford, accordionist Annie Lewandowski, and clarinetist Beth Fleenor,
as well as key members of Gamelan Pacifica. Vocal texts will include
poetry from Stonehouse, translated by Red Pine, Susan Howe, Rumi, W.S.
Merwin, Goenawan Mohamad, and others, as well as texts by Powell and
Kenney.
