The Longing Project
Join mezzo soprano Stephanie Tritchew, and pianist Holly Kroeker as they explore the sublime nature and broken-heartedness of longing.
This recital was born from a set of poetry on Longing vs Having by American spiritual teacher, Lee Lozowick. As part of Stephanie's own investigations and practice, she decided to explore Lozowick's poetry and complimentary poetry by Sufi poets Rumi and Hafiz, through song. Stephanie commissioned Canadian composer Danika Lorèn to write two song cycles which feature these poems. This recital will be the world premiere of both works.
To speak to the broken-heartedness that accompanies the heart of longing, Stephanie is using the archetype of Penelope who awaits the return of her love, Odysseus, for twenty years.
