On Wednesday, March 30, 2011, the Buffalo Chamber Players continue their acclaimed concert series with “Sex & Politics,” a new work by WNY composer Rob Deemer with guest soprano Tony Arnold.
Written for the Buffalo Chamber Players, “Sex & Politics” is scored for voice and a nine-piece ensemble of strings, woodwinds and brass. The performance will feature world-renowned, Grammy-nominated soprano Tony Arnold. The piece comprises settings of six poems by the American poet e.e. cummings.
"Neither sex nor politics are subjects that are often explored overtly in abstract concert music," Deemer says, "but in conjunction with cummings' texts, it's possible to see the humor and pain inherent in these everyday ideas. It might be a risky subject matter for my first work with the Players, but what's life without a little risk?"
