Myth & Memory: Berio Folk Songs with New Companions—EAST BAY

  • Littlefield Concert Hall, Mills College Richards Road Oakland, CA, 94613 United States (map)

Luciano Berio celebrates the rich materials of folklore in Folk Songs, arranging songs from all over the globe — from Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair to the Azerbaijan Love Song. New commissions by Left Coast remix additional folk songs to complement Berio’s masterpiece, and Carl Schimmel gives us a topsy-turvy resetting of the classic Little Red Riding Hood story for the 21st century!
