The Bowdoin College Chamber Choir, directed by Robert K. Greenlee, will
feature the premiere of a work entitled DARWIN'S DREAM III, created
jointly by composer Elliott Schwartz and visual artist Dorothy Schwartz.
The visual images are drawn from Dorothy
Schwartz's 2009 exhibition at the June Fitzpatrick Gallery in Portland
(in celebration of Darwin's bicentennial year). An electronic collage by
Elliott Schwartz, designed originally to be played at the gallery
showing, has become the underpinning of a work
for choir, piano, vocal soloists and narrator. The texts are taken from
Darwin's own writings.
The Chamber Choir concert will take place in the Bowdoin Chapel on
campus, Saturday and Sunday May 4th and 5th, 3:00 pm on both dates. The
entire program is devoted to American music, and will also include works
by Eric Whitacre, Alicia Keys and folksong transcriptions.
