Isolated and alone during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, composer Stefania De Kenessey thought about what people of all ages, and all stages in life might be going through - trying to imagine their anxiety, their worry, their sense of confusion. What were they doing? What were they thinking? What were they feeling? More importantly, what could she do to help?The result was Microvids, 19 miniatures for flute and piano.The title is a nod to Bartok's Mikrokosmos, fondly remembered from her childhood, but the music is transposed to our own age and culture, with short pieces that are rhythmically compelling, musically tuneful, and more importantly emotionally uplifting.Acclaimed musicians Marya Martin, flutist and pianist Donna Weng Friedman will perform the world premiere of Microvids along with music by Franz Schubert and Eric Ewazen, Sunday October 2nd, at 4pm, at Taplin Auditorium on the beautiful campus of Princeton University. Admission Free.
