"The Singing Horn" from classical hornist and folk vocal artist Mary Beth Orr bridges the divide between opposites — folk and classical, raw and refined, life and loss. Some selections will flow like a song cycle, interweaving folk and classical elements, including works by Mahler, Bob Dylan, nostalgic mountain folk melodies like Wayfaring Stranger, as well as her own original songs. The crossover of genres is both unexpected and satisfying. This program harnesses the synergy of horn and voice as vessels for storytelling and comes together as a love letter to the poignant connection of the human experience.
