Buffalo Soldier

admin | October 19th, 2011 |

“Buffalo Soldier” is based on the little known story of the segregated 92nd Infantry Division, who fought with unyielding valor in World War II. Inspired by award-winning documentary “Inside Buffalo” by Fred Kuwornu, the opera will premiere in Città della Pieve (Umbria) Italy in July of 2012 as part of the Trasimeno Blues Festival and then proceed to the same mountainside towns where the 92nd and thousands of loyal Italian villagers and Partisans, fought to end the war. The tour will touch such cities as Barga, Cortona and Volterra, where it will be part of the Festival of the Teatro Romano.

IOT is coordinating more than 25 events in Philadelphia to educate and bring life to the heroic camaraderie of the Italian people and The 92nd Division, beginning with a Members’ Exhibition at DaVinci Art Alliance in November 2011 and including a concert and lecture at The National Constitution Center with participation of The Italian Consulate of Philadelphia, The African American Museum of Philadelphia and veterans of the 92nd Infantry Division.

Members’ Exhibition at DaVinci Art Alliance in November 2011 sponsored by Pennsylvania Humanities Council.

New Voices: Call for Applications

International Opera Theater

The American Composers Forum, Philadelphia is pleased to announce its next New Voices project with International Opera Theater!

New Voices offers emerging composers the opportunity to have new works rehearsed, performed, and recorded by professional performing ensembles. For the next New Voices program, ACF Philadelphia will collaborate with International Opera Theater to give seven member composers an opportunity to gain practical experience in writing an opera, resulting in a new opera production to be premiered in November 2010 at Prince Music Theater in Philadelphia.

Seven local composers will be selected to write short opera vignettes (approx. 15 minutes) for four vocalists (lyric soprano, mezzo, lyric tenor, baritone) and six instrumentalists (flute doubling piccolo; clarinet doubling bass clarinet; violin doubling viola; cello; piano; one percussionist) based on seven novellas from The Decameron, a collection of 100 novellas written in the 14th century by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio.

The application deadline is March 15th 2010 (postmark deadline).

Applicants will be notified of the decision in late April 2010. Texts will be assigned after the panel selects the winning composers. Participating composers will have approximately five months to complete their works before rehearsals begin in October 2010. Composers must agree to participate in two rehearsals (minimum) and attend the performances.

IOT is currently working on an international aspect of the program, in which four arias from four composers will be used in a singing competition and recorded in Italy by a 50 piece orchestra: Orchestra Filarmonica Veneta di Legnago. Composers will need to submit their aria selections by June 28th 2010 in order for their music to be included in the Italian competition.

See the guidelines on the ACF Philadelphia Chapter website for full details and application instructions.

Questions? Contact James Falconi, Program Manager by phone 267-639-2518 or email.

New Voices is made possible with support from the William Penn Foundation
