Auditory Reset: Katharine Dain (Dove & Berio)

Auditory Reset is a new initiative of an ongoing concert programme line starting from October 2022, at A Lab in Amsterdam Noord. Every second Tuesday of the month, from 18:00 till 18:30, we are presenting radiating musicians with intriguing performances.

On the 13th of December, ravishing American soprano Katharine Dain will perform two exceptional songs: Sequenza III from Luciano Berio and Jonathan Dove's Ariel.

Berio's Sequenza III for voice, written for his wife Cathy Berberian, is one of the most iconic vocal pieces of the 20th century. Jonathan Dove's Ariel sets famous texts from Shakespeare's The Tempest. Ariel -not exactly human, alternately joyful and harsh and magical from one moment to the next - has inspired many adaptations, musical and otherwise, that use the strangeness and uniqueness of the human voice to explore facets of the character.

Come to experience our concert in a new, extraordinary way.

Let's pause, focus and escape for a moment from the outside rushing world!
