About this Performance

The Washington Post praises Nicolás Lell Benavides’ music for finding “a way to sketch complete characters in swift sure lines.” In his new work based on poems by Nobel Prize-winner Pablo Neruda, tenor Joshua Blue becomes the piece’s protagonist, singing from beyond the grave about his undying affection for his lover and their closeness despite physical separation. 

Featuring oboist Anne Marie Gabriele and tenor Joshua Blue.
