Great Noise Ensemble returns to Catholic University’s 2012 New Voices @ CUA Festival on January 20th and 21st to present brand new works for voice and ensemble.
On Friday night’s concert, GNE presents works by composers from Catholic’s composition program, featuring composers Jay Parotta, Sarah Horick, Brian Rice, and Joseph Taylor as well as premieres of new works commissioned for GNE by composers Sean Doyle and Cornelius Dufallo.
Dufallo joins the group to perform his work Paranoid Symmetry, bringing a marriage of technology and live instruments to depict the disintegration of the human mind. Sean Doyle’s Letters from Zelda sets texts of letters written to F. Scott Fitzgerald by his wife Zelda to lush orchestrations that evoke the jazz age and the dramatic swings of Zelda’s mental instability.
