Reframe - Cluster Festival

Natanielle Felicitas, Everett Hopfner, Madeline Hildebrand, Sarah Jo Kirsch

Using the beautifully resonant grand piano as a template, composers and pianists continue to push further, contending with all manners of extensions: processing live and fixed electronics, preparing the strings with any number of foreign materials, and augmenting the sound with additional keyboard instruments. Madeline Hildebrand and Everett Hopfer take audiences on an exploration of these dazzling soundscapes with a program of keyboard repertoire that defies expectation. Cellist Natanielle Felicitas, is renowned for her cross-genre collaborative in Winnipeg’s music scene and will be presenting a rare solo performance featuring a premiere of new cello and electronics work. Long-time collaborators and contributors to Cluster, but never at the same time, Sarah Jo Kirsch and Madeline Hildebrand bring a musical offering about feeling way too much in a world of contradictions. Oscillating between the emotional extremes that roil in this masterfully selected program of pieces, Kirsch and Hildebrand presents listeners with a salve for the ache and shines a poetically hopeful light on the absurdity of it all.
