Setting Robinson Jeffers to Music is now available for viewing online at:
The second RJA-THF webinar will take place Sunday, October 25 at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. The free program will feature two contemporary composers, Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli and Jessica Hunt, whose work engages Jeffers' poetry. Anderson-Bazzoli will present his setting of "Distant Rainfall" from his song cycle, Continent's End (recently recorded and released on Delos Music), and Hunt will present Helen Thurso's featured aria from her opera-in-progress based on Thurso's Landing. The program will begin with recordings of the two selections, followed by a brief discussion between the two composers with the rest of the hour devoted to their responses to questions from those attending. Concert pianist and Tor House docent Melinda Coffey Armstead will host and facilitate. (Click here for the texts of "Distant Rainfall" and for Helen's aria.)
