Einstein's Mozart at Colorado College, with poet Kate Light
Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 7:00 pmPackard Hall, Colorado College
14 E. Cache La Poudre St. Colorado Springs, CO 80903
The CCP and poet Kate Light teamed up for a repeat performance of Einstein's Mozart: Two Geniuses at Colorado College. Einstein's Mozart integrates two of Mozart's great string works with Kate Light's original poetry and prose. The narration draws listeners into ordinary and extraordinary moments of these two exceptional men, while the music --separating the texts into discrete segments -- casts its own magic. Einstein was an accomplished amateur violinist, and often played chamber music to relax his mind while working through a difficult physics problem.
The CCP performed two of Einstein's beloved Mozart works: the C major Viola Quintet K. 515 and the Dissonant Quartet K.465, with Kate Light narrating.
Kate Light's Einstein's Mozart poetry was originally commissioned by the Colorado Chamber Players, and given world premiere performances in Denver with Light and the CCP in January 2006.
