Exhilaration / a workshop in poetry & music

Exhilaration / a workshop in poetry and music
explores the relationship of poetry and music in the context of Gregg Kallor's acclaimed musical settings of poems by Emily Dickinson, William Butler Yeats, and Christina Rossetti. This interactive program is a unique opportunity to engage in an open dialogue about the poems and the settings with the composer in a small group setting. The workshop focuses on the participants' experience of the poems - not what the poems "mean," but what they mean to the students - and how hearing the song-settings performed live affects their perception of them.
