| Spoletto Festival USA |
|
The 2016 MCANA meeting will be held at the Spoleto Festival USA in historic Charleston, SC from May 31 to June 3.
We will hear the new David Herskovits production of Porgy and Bess featuring Lester Lynch and Alyson Cambridge at the renovated Gailliard Auditorium; the U.S. premiere of "The Little Match Girl" (1990) by Helmut Lachenmann, with Heather Buck and Yuko Kakuta, and the U.S. premiere of Double Coquette, an infrequently encountered comic opera by Baroque composer Antoine Dauvergne (with revisions by Gérard Pesson) by the early music specialists Ensemble Amarillis. In addition to the usual chamber concerts at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.--Osvaldo Golijov is composer-in-residence this year--there will be walking tours centered around the Charleston roots of "Porgy and Bess," led by visual designer and artist Jonathan Green, who grew up among South Carolina's Gullah community.
