The Threefold Terror of Love by Various, Dg. 13 Nov. 2022, De (2022/2022), Rubin Museum of Art, New York City, United States

Starring soprano Robin Steitz and baritone Dominik Belavy, and joined by Mr. LaNasa at the piano, this concert features music by Matthew Ricketts, Thomas Adès, Katie Balch, Jake Landau, Shawn Jaeger, Tonia Ko, and others. The title of the program, taken from one of Matthew Ricketts’ pieces, inspired Mr. LaNasa to explore intimacy’s push and pull with this concert’s programming. Asserting vulnerability as a superpower, Mr. LaNasa notes that this is a time when many have had to learn how to be closer to one another again, saying, “it’s amazing how sweetly tender life feels when we are open to the possibility of pain.”
