SPOKEN WORD w/PIANO AND ACCORDION BY STELTH ULVANG OF THE LUMINEERS

NYC Debut UPSTREAM w/creator-performers Will Healy and George Meyer

Stelth Ulvang premieres "The Heartbeats of Stars, In Which Aliens Love Louis Armstron," inspired by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan's data capture of love that left our galaxy on Voyager's gold record. This performance is a meditation on the many orbits in two lives, and the many points of intersection between them that may seem chaotic but translate in ways that can be shared across sound, music, and story, as a fabric of meaning with a common language of wavelengths.

And 2023 Leonard Bernstein Award Winner Will Healy debuts Violin-Piano duo Upstream with George Meyer, performing a live program of co-compositions for piano, cello, viola, violin, drawing from bluegrass, hip-hop, and jazz.
