ReSounding offers two themes: voices lost to history and now revived, and the scenic and spiritual transcending musical cultures.

We begin with Debussys summer-winter preludes.Mendelssohn-Hensel's Easter Sonata fuses Romantic Lieder and virtuosity with an homage to Bach. Written in 1828, the Sonata was lost to the archives, then mistakenly attributed to her brother Felix, and only premiered under the right name in 2010. The finale depicts the earthquake in St Matthews Passionan uncanny link to Buencaminos Fantasy on the most active volcano in the Philippines. The tension between tradition and innovation is revisited in Schumanns bold take on Beethovens famous symphonic theme. We conclude the evening with African-American composerPrices Fantasie negre No.2, written in 1932 but only premiered and published in 2020, and a triumphant celebration of her identity.
