Cult of Orpheus / Rose City Art Song Project
November 8, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 7:45 pm
FreeReadings by poets collaborating on the Rose City Arts Songs Project (Phase 3, Valentine’s). It’s a great variety, from the lyrical symbolist imagism of Coleman Stevenson to the surreal invocations of Jason Squamata.
Cult of Orpheus presents the Rose City Art Song project, featuring works of Portland poets set to music. On the eve of Portland Book Festival and the night of LitCrawl!
Join us at 7 pm for poetry readings by Mo McFeely, Jason Squamata, Coleman Stevenson and James Yeary.
At 8 pm, Cult of Orpheus presents musical performances of eight poems, two from each poet. Our featured vocalists are tenor Eric Asakawa, soprano Jocelyn Claire Thomas, baritone Dan Gibbs, and mezzo-soprano Sadie Gregg. Music composed by Christopher Corbell, with music direction by Erica Melton.
Free admission!
