WHEN WORDS FAIL (WORLD PREMIERE)

New Works Concert: New York Opera Fest, 2017

"The second part of the program opened with J. L. Marlor on her electric guitar, using the language of a prompt she put out to describe experiences in which words fail. Soprano Ryan Colbert rendered these words with a touching tenderness"
