Apollo Chamber Players is diving headfirst this weekend into globally-inspired programming and multicultural new music commissions – this time with a focus on the culture and music of Southeast Asia. The group will present a multi-disciplinary performanceby Emmy Award-winning musician Van-Anh Vanessa Vo and composer Jonathan Berger to tell three powerful and multi-sensory stories about life on the Mekong River.
Through music, the audience will follow a journey along the Mekong River and hear the sounds of Vietnamese, Khmer, Thai, Lao, and Burmese communities. Through choreography, the audience will experience the pains of departure from the homeland, as well as the struggles faced by those torn from the river. Through spoken word and moving images, concert-goers will understand the bonds of the mother who sustains life whether on the river or in diaspora., a monochord zither native to Vietnam.
He says the Apollo quartet’s classical western instrument will also mimic some of the traditional Vietnamese ones during parts of the presentation. For Apollo Chamber Players’ debut at Asia Society Texas, they’re pulling out all the stops. In addition to the dancers and spoken work, they’re also adding visual elements to enhance the concert experience.
