S2 Elder Conservatorium Lunchtime Concert | The Ringtone Cycle
Fri 8 Nov @ 1:10 pm
Seraphim Trio
Lorina Gore – soprano
Graeme Koehne – The Ringtone Cycle
This 2010 commission from the Seraphim Trio has a libretto from the Australian author Peter Goldsworthy. Subtitled a “cabaret quintet for soprano, violin, cello, piano and iPhone”, it is a mini-operetta that tells of a love affair starring a modern-day Brunnhilde and her phone. Koehne’s continuous flow of music recalls Wagner’s revolutionary “speech-song”, and members of the audience might need to brush up on tech jargon to fully appreciate the text! The score is also dotted with references to famous ring tones.
