We Met at the Symphony - OKoye - Soprano/String Quartet
A Song Cycle for Soprano and String Quartet
Composer: Nkeiru Okoye
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Soprano and String Quartet
With an original text by the composer, Nkeiru Okoye's We Met At The Symphony is a monodrama in three songs for soprano and string quartet or piano. The songs tell the story of a Black woman surprised to find a Black man in the sea of white faces at an orchestra concert, their subsequent romance, and her struggle to trust another Black man after betrayal and heartbreak. Okoye's poignant, insightful, and sharp-witted poetry is set to dramatic and striking music that blends sensibilities from jazz, Broadway, and contemporary classical styles, with an unforgettable solo role for the soprano.
