I recently did a distanced collaboration with Canadian cellist Arlen Hlusko for [in]verse, a recording project she curated with Fall For Dance North, Toronto’s premier international dance festival. From two different locations, we recorded Edward Elgar’s Salut d’Amour; the recording was then paired with Vanesa Garcia-Ribala Montoya’s reading of Federico García Lorca’s poem “Romance Sonámbulo” by Federico García Lorca. Music- and poetry-lovers, check out this track and the complete album here (available on demand on FFDN’s website until October 25).
