I can't think of any way [Spire Duo] could have improved upon it - thoughtful &amp; cohesive concept, brilliant lyric &amp; musical selections, excellent presentation, &amp; stellar performances . . . by BOTH [Emma] &amp; Andrew.” - Lexy, W. from Eugene"The concert was a true delight. An unexpected surprise really. I loved being exposed to this new-to-me Art Song which just as appropriately could be called Heart Song :) To sing through the seasons of grief and loss with such a voice as yours Emma somehow gave a tangibility to those deep feelings..and the dance of Andrew's fingers on the piano added a deep undergirding depth to each piece. Thank you for sharing your gifts. " -- Jakki S. M., from Junction City About the program: We begin our program with the changing colors and falling leaves of autumn, venture through the harsh elements and episodic slumps of the winter, rejoice in the burgeoning of new life in the spring, and finally arrive in the welcome quietude of a warm summer, reflecting on both sentimental moments of the past as well as life's present beauty. The words of master poets such as Emily Dickinson, W. H. Auden, and Robert Louis Stevenson capture the joy, dejection, wonder, and renewal of a year in a life well-lived through the music of composers such as Benjamin Britten, André Previn, Dominick Argento, and more.The suggested ticket price is $20, however all are welcome and therefore tickets are available at the door on a sliding scale ($16-$20). The Eventbrite platform does not allow us to create a sliding scale, so please call Tsunami books to reserve tickets ahead of time on a sliding scale at 541-345-8986 .
