New Music Now: Shelley Hirsch and Theo Bleckmann/Ben Monder Duo January 30, 2009

An Evening of Vocal Magic
Hirsch presents a collage of song, spoken word, and vocal accompaniments to a selection of film soundtracks composed by Bernard Herrmann. She twists the aural images of Fahrenheit 451, The Day the Earth Stood Still and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor into a narrative filled with free associations, autobiographical stories and sonic pictures. She will be joined by multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismailly.
