ITHACA, a performance by Dimitris Paganos Koukakis and Maria Tsingistra.

Ithaca symbolizes our journey, the journey around our experiences, the customs deeply rooted within us but also, the exploration around cultures, ideas and people. This is the inspiration for our performance, our point of view through dance and music by Bartok, Shostakovich, Ung and Terrazas.

Béla Bartók - Romanian folk dances (Sz.56, BB68)

III. Topogó / Pe loc (In One Spot)

Dmitri Shostakovich - Piano Sonata No.1, Op.12

Chinary Ung - Seven Mirrors

ii. Dotted path

iii. ...Roar, lion of the heart...

iv. ...laughter passes over the earth...

v. Space between the fish and the moon

vi. Tattooing space - time

vii. Flying mirrors

Wilfrido Terrazas - Χάρτης (world premiere)

A. Expressive, channeling Henry Cowell

B. Suddenly active, rapidly growing

C. Build a thick cloud of resonance

D. Suspended, "timeless"

E. Suddenly vertiginous, absurdly fast

F. With a clear sense of pulse

G. Coda (keep the pulse going)

Miguel Zazueta, voice D.M.A. Recital

Meeting Halfway

Saturday, April 30, 2022 at 3:00 p.m.

FREE | RSVP required for in person attendance

Watch Livestream at music.ucsd.edu/live

Miguel Zazueta, voice will be presenting his D.M.A. recital, Meeting Halfway, featuring music by Henze, Britten, Muhly, and Zazueta on Saturday, April 30th at 3:00 p.m. in the Conrad Prebys Music Center, Experimental Theater. He will be accompanied by Dr. Kyle Adam Blair, piano and the Hausmann Quartet. 

In this recital I intend to share my personal journey with the concept of intimacy in music. Questioning: What is to be truthful in music? How to be intimate in a musical performance? How can I share what matters to me through a melodic line and a fictional context? Or, as written in the song cycle “Stranger” by Muhly “Is it possible to recover and interpret the past?”.

With all this questions in mind I will present for you four beautiful and very different song cycles:

The elegant “Three Auden Songs” by Hans Werner Henze, the passionate “Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo” by Benjamin Britten, the highly provocative “Stranger” by Nico Muhly, and lastly, “Tres Memorias” of my own authorship.

The accompanists for this recital will be Dr. Kyle Adam Blair in the piano (Henze, and Britten), and The Hausman Quartet (Muhly).

I hope you can join me and my collaborators in this beautiful musical evening.

-Miguel Zazueta
