Atlantic String Machine

A mezzo-soprano, a string quintet and a world premiere - May 13th!

St. Paul's Church

Atlantic String Machine will present the final concert of their 2022-23 Season: Coming Together on Saturday, May 13. The season’s shows have showcased the ensemble collaborating with a diverse array of vocalists including Kierrah, Sirens, and Cameron MacDuffee. This concert will feature mezzo-soprano Hannah O’Donnell. There will be two performances (2:30pm and 7:30pm) at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Charlottetown, and a link to purchase tickets can be found online at www.atlanticstringmachine.com. 	 One of the highlights of the concert will be the world premiere of Four Songs for vocalist and string quintet by the contemporary Australian composer Don Kay. The piece sets four poems from Island poet Laurie Brinklow’s recent book My Island’s the House I Sleep in at Night. Kay and Brinklow connected when the writer’s research in Island Studies brought her to Tasmania, and one of the poems in the book is dedicated to the composer. Retired from a post at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music, Kay has composed works for opera and theatre, symphony orchestra, and choirs that have been performed around the world. In 1991, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for his contribution to the arts.	Also on the program will be original compositions by bassist Adam Hill and violinist Sean Kemp. Hill’s Oilblood will see O’Donnell joined by recent SoPA grad Hayden Lysecki for a thrilling setting of a text by Vancouver poet Kevin Spenst. And Kemp’s piece Hope will lead listeners through an emotional journey grounded in sonorous harmonies and minimalist textures. And, in classic String Machine fashion, the show will include a diverse mix of selections from early and romantic classical music to tango, pop, and folk numbers.
