SUMMARY:Haven Trio
DESCRIPTION:Lindsay Kesselman\, sopranoKimberly Cole\, clarinetMidori Koga\, piano \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater. Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Our Email List\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/rWS6VUPplCE?si=mQPelvREzut7tXkS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstablished solo artists soprano Lindsay Kesselman\, clarinetist Kimberly Cole Luevano\, and pianist Midori Koga joined as the Haven Trio in 2011 around performances of Abbie Betinis’ hauntingly beautiful song cycle Nattsanger. Haven released its first album\, Bright Angel\, (Fleur de Son\, Ltd.) in 2013 to critical acclaim: “…amazingly performed works…performances are exquisite as is their ensemble chemistry.” (Sequenza 21)   \n\n\n\nNow in its 13th season\, Haven has commissioned a compelling body of repertoire from its extended family of composers. Their recordings: would that loving were enough (Blue Griffin\, 2024)\, all we are given we cannot hold (Blue Griffin\, 2023)\, Twinge (Blue Griffin\, 2019)\, Atonement (Fleur de Son\, 2015)\, and Bright Angel (Fleur de Son\, 2013) can be found on all streaming platforms. Haven believes in commissioning people\, not pieces of music\, and enjoys ongoing relationships with composers such as Abbie Betinis\, David Biedenbender\, Evan Chambers\, Roshanne Etezady\, Lee Kesselman\, Amy Beth Kirsten\, Gilda Lyons\, Kieren MacMillan\, Jon Magnussen and Ivette Herryman Rodriguez.   \n\n\n\nHaven feels fortunate to have received support from numerous granting organizations in support of new music and is the recipient of a Barlow Endowment Commissioning Grant (2021)\, Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Grant (2021 and 2015)\, Ontario Arts Council Grant (2016) and others.   \n\n\n\nRecent and upcoming performances include: premieres of all we are given we cannot hold by David Biedenbender and poet Robert Fanning\, DE OTRO MUNDO by Ivette Herryman Rodriguez\, Hardwired for Optimism by Roshanne Etezady and poet Carolyn Petit Pinet\, as well as premieres of new arrangements of David Biedenbender’s Shell and Wing and Amy Beth Kirsten’s to my own heart). They were featured in performances at the Chamber Music America conference in New York in 2024\, with Chamber Music International and the Fine Arts Chamber Players in Dallas\, TX\, and also in a residency with the Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto.   \n\n\n\nKim\, Lindsay and Midori are all passionate teachers and actively seek out opportunities to work with student performers and composers. Haven has recently engaged in performing/teaching residencies at Michigan State University\, the Hartt School\, University of Texas – San Antonio\, Sam Houston State University\, Emory and Henry University\, Abilene Christian University\, St. Mary of the Woods College\,College of DuPage and as an Ensemble-in-Residence at the Connecticut Summerfest in June 2022 and 2024.  \n\n\n\nWhether in a living room\, an art gallery\, a school\, or a concert hall\, Haven harnesses the power of vulnerability…inviting its audiences into an intimate and personal experience of contemporary music. Through their composers\, they aim to create artistic experiences which allow audiences to feel welcomed\, included\, and connected to one another through poetry and musical storytelling.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaven Trio\n\n\n\n\n

In advance of that performance\, the Wind Ensemble will perform six concerts on a tour that will span the southern United States with stops in Charlotte\, Atlanta\, Tuscaloosa\, New Orleans\, Houston\, and Dallas. The program\, with compositions by UNCG alum Dai Wei (’15 MM) and Ida Gotkovsky\, the poetry of Kim Addonizio\, and the voices of Dai Wei and UNCG faculty member Lindsay Kesselman\, is an acknowledgement of UNCG’s legacy of women’s education and a celebration of women’s voices more broadly. \n\n\n\nIn 1892\, UNCG opened its doors as the State Normal and Industrial School with music courses as part of the original curriculum. For the first seventy-two years of its existence\, the university only served women before becoming co-educational in 1964—the year after the university was renamed as the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Today\, the university’s population stands at roughly 67% women. Tonight’s program serves as a reminder and reaffirmation of UNCG’s mission of educating women in North Carolina and beyond. \n\n\n\nThe program is also bound together through elements of cyclicity and repetition. In some musical cultures\, repetition is used to promote and create community—to instill a sense of collectivism; in others\, it may be used to express the infinite and indescribable qualities of reality. The ephemeral and fleeting nature of music necessitates cyclicity in order to promote understanding\, particularly in the long-form music found in the Western classical tradition. In music\, however\, repetition is never simply repetition—to promote understanding\, the repetition is changed\, or the listener is changed by experiencing the repetition. Just as poet Kim Addonizio describes the simple experience of watching the sky “darkening\, then brightening” over the course of a day\, sometimes we notice changes in the musical cycles before us and other times we notice changes within ourselves. In other words\, does the cycle change or do we? \n\n\n\nEach of the three pieces on the CBDNA program feature elements of cyclicity and symmetry. Dai Wei’s Samsaric Dance is inspired by the Tibetan Buddhism conception of existence. Over the course of the piece\, multiple musical elements emerge\, return\, interact with each other\, and continuously transform before the piece eventually rests on a C♯ that symbolizes the oneness and unity of all existence. In this sense\, cyclicity refers to the endless cycle of birth\, death\, and rebirth—like a wheel rolling forward and backwards towards a possible but never promised nirvana. \n\n\n\nChristopher Cerrone’s Darkening\, Then Brightening is built in an arch form but one shaped like a valley. The descent of the first three movements leads towards the return of the C♯ from Samsaric Dance now transformed into the sound of inevitable descent. While the listener and singer ascend towards the light in the final movements\, the promise of redemption lies just beyond their grasp as the piece suddenly stops. The valley was just too deep. \n\n\n\nWhile elements of formal cyclicity are clearly evident in both movements of Ida Gotkovsky’s Symphonie pour orchestre d’harmonie\, her intermingling of octatonic\, whole tone\, and quartal pitch material throughout the symphony is of particular interest. This kind of symmetrical pitch organization\, one also favored by her composition teacher Olivier Messiaen\, creates melodic and harmonic structures free of any sense of a fundamental pitch\, occurring in looping cycles without a clear beginning or end. While traditional tonal music relies on asymmetrical pitch structures to establish hierarchy\, Gotkovsky’s pitch organization lends her music an almost otherworldly quality while remaining relatively consonant even within a modernist framework. \n\n\n\nThe chord that ends the piece\, and thus the concert\, is a quartal harmony built on C-naturals in the soprano and bass voices. The chord’s brightness and power seem far removed from the C♯ featured so prominently in the previous two pieces. The cycle has ended lower in pitch but perhaps more hopeful in tone? Darkening\, then brightening… has the cycle changed\, or have we? \n\n\n\nA performance such as this is an incredible undertaking and requires a great deal of effort and resources.
