This event is part of the Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program’s Music and Storytelling Conference.

The sentiment "music begins where words fail" has been expressed by numerous composers and poets in the 19th century. How do writers and composers approach literary and musical texts respectively? How do actors and musical performers? What happens when these two texts meet in opera or other narrative performance works? This discussion is a fitting preview to the evening premiere performance of Marc Migó's Carnaval de las Indias.

Unable to attend in person? Not to worry! Presented as a living room talk show, you can join us from around the world with a cup of coffee, watching from the convenience of your computer or phone. This webinar will be streamed with capabilities for you to ask questions and follow up.
