Peabody alum Faye Chiao to perform Hubble-inspired work at Artscape Chiao's 'To See the Stars' among several Peabody performances at annual arts festival
To those familiar with her work, it's no surprise that Peabody Institute alum Faye Chiao (MM '07, DMA '16, Composition) will perform at this year's space-themed Artscape festival.
This is a composer who, after winning the Presser Music Award last year, chose to create a chamber work celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope, staging performances in planetariums.
'utopia parkway' at Single Carrot Theatre
Single Carrot's Utopia Parkway is a delightfully refreshing evening of musical ritual theatre, Mee's lyrics are fresh and Chiao's tunes only elevate them. One is reminded of children on the playground singing and romping around with dance-like movements, using the various levels of the set to great effect. Their rhythms are infectious and serve to heighten the feeling of ritual reenactment.
And that is, after all is said and done, what Utopia Parkway is: a ritual yearning for a better world.
Single Carrot Theater Heads Down the "Utopia Parkway"
Tim Smith, The Baltimore Sun
"The composer has crafted an effective pastiche that coverse assorted pop genres, and has provided vivid instrumentation that, especially in percussive underlining of key lines of text, evokes something of Chinese opera."
To See the Stars featured in the Spring 2015 Peabody Alumni Magazine!
Lunar Ensemble performs 'Pierrot Lunaire' and new, related works
Buonaiuto was featured in Faye Chiao's "Moments Colores," four songs filled with lush images of nature, antiquity and absinthe and treated in an intriguing, cabaret-inflected style (waltz rhythms are deftly exploited). Buonaiuto handled the assignment, which includes some mild sprechgesang in a nod to Schoenberg, with finesse and charm. Chiao's instrumental writing, often exquisitely misty in coloring reached a Poulenc-like richness at the end.
