At noon today, SJI’s own Sasha von Dassow gave SanJuans.Today viewers a peek at this weekend’s 10th Annual Chamber Music Festival on San Juan Island begins tonight.
An accomplished cellist himself, Sasha conducted the interview with deep insights into classical music and musicians.
His guests today were Sophie Baird-Daniel, Artistic Director & Harpist with the Archipelago Collective, and Freya Waley-Cohen, Commissioned Composer for the Archipelago Collective.
The Archipelago Collective’s website is here.
British-American composer Freya Waley-Cohen, known for her instinctive use of color in music, invites audiences on a journey into soundscapes inspired by folklore, history, and the natural world with her forthcoming Autumn 2024 season. Waley-Cohen embraces her unique sound-world, collaborating with some of the most innovative artists of this generation, exploring the rich tapestry of folklore and history, and weaving them into her highly anticipated work, ‘Spell Book.’
Waley-Cohen reunites with Tanglewood alumni Sophie Baird-Daniel and the Archipelago Collective for the world premiere of a new work celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Annual Chamber Music Festival on San Juan Island tonight, September 6. The festival runs through Sunday. This 10-minute septet is about her anticipation of the San Juan archipelago, and the freshness of imagining its rhythms, sounds, tides and moons.
