Rose Bapier Opens Timor-Leste Culture Week
Rose Bapier Productions is a non-profit organization that links world class artists and unusual musical repertory to social issues by creating programs and concerts designed to bring people together. The organization's mission is to contribute to the welfare and betterment of people worldwide and strengthen communal ties globally by using the art of music as a unifying vehicle.
Rose Bapier Productions(www.rosebapier.org) is collaborating with the Foundation for Post Conflict Development (www.postconflictdev.org) to begin a journey of cultural preservation and restoration of legacy on behalf of East Timor and strengthen its connection to the western world through introduction of the Country's musical tradition. The legacy of East Timor, which has been transmitted verbally through its folklore, traditional songs, lullabies and children's stories have been deliberately displaced during 25 years of Indonesian occupation. Because so much human loss has occurred at the same time, few elders are left to rekindle the roots. Rose Bapier is making a first effort to invoke some elements of the tradition that have been shared so far.
The Rose Bapier program on May 14th at the Gabarron Foundation in New York City, titled " Voices in Union," will interweave a poignant performance of the Ennio Morricone piece, Nostalgia, from the film Cinema Paradiso. This piece will be followed by a unique composition of Jorge Bosso written to magnificent poetry of John Keats titled "Ode to Psyche," a U.S. premiere of unpublished work for 2 voices, harp, vibraphone and cello dedicated to the people of East Timor .
The evening will also feature a poem /multimedia presentation reflecting on the Spirit of Freedom and cross over into special arrangements of traditional Timorese songs performed in both original and western interpretations and sounds reflecting the positive influences and emotions from East Timore when it was occupied by Portugal composed by our talented colleague pianist/arranger Octavio Brunetti. Our artists performing that eve Mary Ann Stewart, mezzo-soprano, Sofia Gitis, soprano, Matthew Tutsky, harp, Joshua Nakazawa, cello, TIm Collins, vibraphone, Douglas Martin, conductor, Octavio Brunetti, pianist, Mauro Satalino, percussion, Martin Balik bass with Paulo Gutterres, Ambassador Santos of East Timor and little Daniela Santos, 8...will sing in tetum, native language...
