Hand2Mouth’s Youth Devising Residency presents

Hear Here!

The Revolution Has Never Been One to Be Silenced.

This is a story about a dystopian society. A small community, polished and well oiled. Going about the same routine with false-fake happiness and contentment… An overlord oppressing, enforcing laws, no matter how insane. A story about revolution and fighting for basic rights. Inspired hope. But not. A half baked revolution. Because that’s real.

The H2M Youth Devising Residency (YDR) 2024-25 Ensemble original piece focuses on censorship and the banning of knowledge and access to needs and rights, to having a voice of your own with your own thoughts, opinions, and knowledge. What is the inevitable outcome of systemic oppression?

“This story feels incredibly poignant given the current political and economic state of the US right now. We have Oligarchs getting up on stage throwing around Nazi salutes while claiming to have the best interest of the American people at heart. We’ve set up a structure similar, where you’re born into the class you die in. That’s how it is in America today. Can we find a way to create a world where we all win?” – Youth Devising Resident Artist

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is the knock-’em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 season. With ten Tony nominations and four wins, including Best Musical, Book, Direction and Costumes, it also earned seven Drama Desk Awards (including Best Musical), four Outer Critics Circle Awards (including Best Musical) and one Drama League Award (Best Musical).

When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he’s eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D’Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind….

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways. Join Penguin for a show that will have you laughing more than you thought you could!

Cost: $16 – 20

When the world shut down in 2020, one of the first musicians in the nation to step onto a stage to share desperately needed music with the world was our own artistic director, acclaimed violinist Soovin Kim. CMNW streamed his monumental performance of Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin from Massachusetts’s majestic Jordan Hall for thousands of home-bound viewers. Now, it is finally our honor and privilege to have him perform them LIVE! This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a marathon performance over two concert evenings, of some of Bach’s most moving works…and by CMNW’s own violinist extraordinaire.

TWO CONCERT EVENINGS OF INCREDIBLE SOLO VIOLIN WORKS

Artistic Director Soovin Kim will perform the Mount Everest for a violinist: Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, over two concert evenings.

This first concert includes Bach’s spirited Partita No. 3 in E Major and his technically challenging Sonata No. 2 in A Minor in the first half, then his spiritually and emotionally powerful Partita No. 2 in D Minor, with its beloved Chaconne, that closes the evening’s program.

Touring music of the masters as well as new works from visionary composers of our time, the Fry Street Quartet has perfected a “blend of technical precision and scorching spontaneity” (The Strad). Since winning the Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the quartet has reached audiences from Carnegie Hall to London, and Sarajevo to Jerusalem, exploring the medium of the string quartet and its life-affirming potential with “profound understanding…depth of expression, and stunning technical astuteness” (Deseret Morning News).The FSQ’s tour repertoire reaches many corners of the musical spectrum, including works of Britten, Schubert, Beethoven and Bartok alongside contempo rary works. The complete quartets of Béla Bartók have been prominent in the quartet’s repertoire. The Fry Street Quartet is privileged to perform on a set of rare Italian instruments on loan from a private foundation. The instruments of the quartet include violins by J.B. Guadagnini and Pietro Giacomo Rogeri, a viola by Giovanni Battista Rogeri, and a cello by Andrea Guarneri.

Dr. Paul Klemme will serve as conductor for a performance of Franz Josef Haydn’s “The Seven Last Word of Christ on the Cross.” Narration of each word from scripture will be read before each movement. This purely orchestral work was commissioned in 1786 for the Good Friday service at Oratorio del Santa Cueva in Cadiz, Spain. Published in 1787 the composer adapted it for string quartet, approved a version for solo piano and finally arranged a version as an oratorio. The seven main meditative sections are based on seven expressions attributed to Jesus during his crucifixion. The seven sections are labelled “sonatas” and are all slow. They are framed by an introduction and a fast “Earthquake”conclusion, for a total of nine movements. The concert on April 6th is 60 minutes in length. This concert directly follows the 4:00 service of Evensong and is open to the public with free will donations gratefully accepted.
