    Samtalä: Sonder

    7pm
    Sonder (n.) — A term coined by John Koenig in The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, describing the profound realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — filled with their own ambitions, routines, worries, and unseen stories

    Inspired by the definition above, this program alternates between the voice of the individual and the response of the many. At the core lies a fight to be understood, and the gradual emergence of compassion through imagination.

    Taking place at the Chorus Public House, Sonder features a string sextet plus voice, sitting in a circle at the center of the room. Book-ended by two original compositions by Micah Behr, the program moves through works that span decades including compositions by Handel, Brahms, Ligeti, Satie, Dutilleux and Caroline Shaw.
