Inversion Ensemble presents Aether: Water Virtual Watch Party & Happy Hour

Saturday, August 29, 2020 from 6:30 PM – 8 PM

Online Event

Inversion cordially invites YOU to the digital conclusion of its 2019-2020 artistic season, Aether. We hope you will join us for a watch party on Saturday, August 29, with a preceding happy hour!

HAPPY HOUR: Tune in at 6:30 p.m. for a casual gathering, and hear from composers, singers, and special guests (Join us on Zoom at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87384190327?pwd=bUFnZTR2REk3TWlNRHpJdVUrT3Y3dz09).

CONCERT: At 7:00 p.m., transfer over to Facebook (link to be placed HERE closer to the event) for the premiere of Aether: Water, featuring works by Inversion’s founders, Trevor Shaw, Robbie LaBanca, and Adrienne Inglis, and by composers Stephanie Andrews, Phillip Bernard, Andrew Dyet, Marjorie Halloran, Hillary Purington, and Kelsey Hohnstein. Watch here: https://www.facebook.com/events/332267068145331/

This digital project involved immense amounts of work from many incredible musicians; we are so thankful to all of the composers and singers who took time to submit pieces and record their tracks. A huge shout out, as well, to Artistic Director, Trevor Shaw, for the vast amounts of time spent producing these tracks! Please join us in celebrating the hard work and artistry of Austin’s choral professionals, as we premiere Aether: Water, the final concert of the Aether series.

Austin’s Inversion Ensemble is a choral collective made up of composers and singers formed to give voice to innovative choral works and to encourage the creation of new music. A great deal of our repertoire is written especially for Inversion Ensemble by composers who sing within the ranks of the ensemble. While many members of Inversion Ensemble perform, conduct, compose, study, and teach music full-time, the group also includes non-professional participants who are passionate about choral music and help to ensure it thrives as a modern art form. 

Accessibility: Please request a large print program at least seven days before the event.

In our latest release ‘The Human in Me’ we stay away from the politics and science that threatens to engulf our tumultuous times and sing about what really matters-Our Humanity (or its loss thereof). Just a man with his piano in a world that has changed. We do hope that all of us that lived in these historical times find this song meaningful. We think this song would be a nice addition to a choral repertoire. The YouTube link to the song is below.

I am pleased to announce a new score video:
WHEN I LAND for unaccompanied SATB mixed choir is the second of the set of THREE GNOSTIC POEMS by Greg Bartholomew. Follow along in the score as you listen to an excellent performance by the Orlando Choral Society under Gregory Ruffer.

An Open World, When I Land and And the Wind are three settings of poems from my father Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew’s collection entitled “And the Wind: Gnostic Poems 1945 – 1979.” Minneapolis native Fletcher Bartholomew spent most of his life in aviation, beginning with a childhood flight in a Curtis Robin in 1929. His work in aviation started with a job as an inspector in an aircraft factory. He went on to become a test pilot in World War II, serving at the South India Air Depot at Bangalore, India. He often spoke later of his experience on the ship to India and the people he met travelling around the subcontinent. He subsequently worked in aviation in Munich, Germany, and in Lima, Peru, before he concluded his career working in airport planning and management.

Sheet music for WHEN I LAND is available from J.W. Pepper Sheet Music:

Sharing a new recording of Paul Ayres’s song, written in response to our “lockdown world”:

Free sheet music is available for anyone who’d like to use this non-commercially, e.g. for a fund-raising sing-a-long, online teaching, virtual choir recording project, or just for fun.
