The program is a retrospective featuring works that Stare at the Sun has commissioned, premiered, or workshopped, as well as a couple other pieces by midwestern composers we have previously championed. Highlights of the program include Matthew Recio’s extraordinary work Holdfast, which explores the agony of physical separation and the phenomenon of skin hunger; Alissa Voth’s The spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words, which rhapsodizes on the Pentecostal practice of speaking in tongues; and Ted Hearne’s Privilege, a series of five vignettes which abstractly explore the causes and repercussions of socioeconomic inequality.
