Réctitations by Greek composer, Georges Aperghis, is a solo vocal work divided into 14 separate pieces that are based on a virtuoso combination of phonemes and theatrical sound gestures. The writing is characterized by high speed, repetitions, accumulations and high rhythmic pressure. They solicit the creative participation of both performer and audience, and adapt well to a great versatility of vocal playing modes. An imaginary language is invented here, ambiguous and often funny.

To dialogue with this work and enhance its intrinsic theatricality, we have invited experimental mixed media artist Matthew Talbot-Kelly/A Knobe Dee to collaborate with Dory Hayley’s interpretation of this exuberant and challenging work. Matthew Talbot-Kelly/A Knobe Dee will create a visual performance that is by turns live animated AR loops, live edited digital loops and an installation of physical assemblages

 

Soprano Dory Hayley is recognized as a leading voice in Canada’s contemporary and experimental music scene. Praised for her “very personal creative power” (Badener Zeitung) and her “amazing coloratura skills” (Opera Canada), she has been a soloist with the Vancouver Symphony, the Vancouver Island Symphony, the Allegra Chamber Orchestra, the Turning Point Ensemble, and Capriccio Basel, appeared in concert across four continents, and commissioned and premiered an expanding catalogue of new works.

An avid and adventurous collaborator, she has performed in festivals such as Sonic Boom, the Modulus Festival, the Happening Festival, New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Gulangyu Autumn Festival (China), Performer’s Voice Symposium (Singapore), and Festival Atempo (Venezuela). She is a member of the Erato Ensemble, the Broadwood Duo, and the Hayley-Laufer Duo, and is the Artistic Co-Director of the Blueridge Chamber Music Festival.
