Sheffield Chamber Players at Wright-Locke Farm
Sheffield Chamber Players returns to Wright-Locke Farm for a musical dialogue featuring the work of three modern composers. "Greetings and Salutations" opens with Caroline Shaw’s "Blueprint," whose title is drawn from a Japanese wood-block art typically using precious “Prussian Blue” ink. Shaw describes this piece, and chamber music itself, as a “conversation without words”. Here, she converses with Diné-Navajo composer Juantio Becenti and 20th century great Benjamin Britten. For our third commission, Juantio Becenti is writing a quartet for Sheffield in which different musical styles will talk with one another; and Britten’s final major work, his 3rd Quartet, is his simultaneous greeting and farewell to the beauties and mysteries of life.
