Marisa Michelson is a powerhouse performer, composer, and leader of Constellation Chor.
I was lucky enough to meet her through my associates at Heartbeat Opera.
We had a shared love of Anne Carson's translations of Sappho's fragments, I had written a song using a few, and Marisa had written an entire evening worth of songs.
They are gorgeous, expansive, guttural, epic, and intimate manifestations of human desire.
This paean to an absent beloved is masterfully performed by
Marisa Michelson, Jen Anaya, Kalli Siamidou and Tamrin Goldberg
