Old First Concerts
Jarring Sounds (Danielle Reutter-Harrah, mezzo-soprano; Adam Cockerham, guitar & lute) perform “Evolution through Transcription.” From five-voice madrigals to 20th-century art songs, Jarring Sounds presents the evolution of music through transcriptions and intabulations for voice and plucked strings. The goal is for the duo to form a deeper connection with composers through co-creation, regardless of whether the composer was born in the 15th or 20th century. Program includes works by Domenico Maria Megli, Giulio Caccino, Robert Dowland, Benjamin Britten, Ottorino Respighi, Jayme Ovalle, Paurillo Barroso, Lyset Compère, Jean Richafort, Claudin de Sermisy, Silvestre Revueltas, Francis Poulenc, and Henri Duparc.
