If, as Charles Darwin once wrote, “there is grandeur in this view of life,” there is also poetry. The APS Museum and Network for New Music have joined forces for an evening of new chamber works inspired by the ideas, the life, and the writings of Darwin. Philadelphia composer Maurice Wright has been commissioned to create an original work for instrumental ensemble, projected video, and computer sound that will start the evening. Composers and poets involved in Network’s innovative Poetry Project series (now in its sixth incarnation) will then take the stage to present new works for voice (baritone Randall Scarlata) and small ensemble. The text for these pieces will be works by Philadelphia-area poets created in response to the Dialogues exhibition. Each score will be the work of a student composer from Philadelphia-area universities.
