Reciprocity premiere

The premiere of Reciprocity, a 28’ chamber work for voice, taped narration, eight celli, piano, and percussion. This exciting piece is being developed by the composer Daniel Patrick Cohen from six poems by Darya Farha, a Canadian poet, therapist, filmmaker and clothing designer who died of breast cancer in 2011; she was 46.

Reciprocity is not about cancer, and this piece is not a personal tribute. The work’s human and universal themes of joy, pleasure, fear and anger, alongside its intriguing instrumentation, are sure to engage a broad audience. The Reciprocity premiere features the terrific young jazz singer Alice Zawadzki who was recently nominated UK Vocalist of the Year at the Jazz FM Awards.
