Siroko Duo will perform works by Izabel Austin, Michael Kropf, and Chelsea Loew.
Speed of Darkness by Izabel Austin is inspired by the second stanza of Muriel Rukeyser’s poem “Speed of Darkness”, which is about the interplay and transformation between listening, speaking, and silence. The piece is not meant to literally interpret or represent the poem, but instead draws on the sounds of the words and the ideas expressed in the poem.
