Kidnapping Water at Town Hall Seattle

The May Day! May Day! marathon was the first time excerpts from Kidnapping Water: Bottled Operas were performed indoors. Emily Greenleaf, Stuart McLeod, Dean Moore, and I sang and played water on the lovely Town Hall main stage surrounded by stained glass windows, wood benches, and music lovers. Along with water bells and gongs, we sang four bottled operas: Abunai (Warning/Warming), Hello Helicopter, Dust Away, and Sunset.
May Day! May Day! was curated by Paul Taub with advice from Steve Peters of Nonsequitur in association with Town Hall. It was great to hear Stuart Dempster, Wayne Horvitz, Robin Holcomb, Michael Lim, Melia Watras, and other contemporary classical musicians in this historic venue.
