Network for New Music presents Windhorse, a musical and artistic exploration of the relationships between Eastern and Western philosophies and cultures. Network for New Music commissioned composer Andrea Clearfield to write a major chamber work for the Network for New Music Ensemble. Clearfield traveled to Lo Monthang, a remote region of Nepal, with visual artist Maureen Drdak. There they gathered samples of the art and sounds of the indigenous Tibetan Buddhist culture, and together with choreographer Manfred Fischbeck, they created a collaborative work called "Lung-ta, the Windhorse." This work features sounds and images related to the Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags known as "lung-ta," which often depict a winged horse riding the wind as it carries the prayers of the faithful to heaven; the music, art, and dance come together in a prayer for peace and the planet we all share.

Intimate, passionate, lyrical--the surviving fragments of Sappho's poetry have moved generations of artists. Inspired by the beauty of her words, composer Bernard Rands set them to music in an exquisite work of "wonderful strangeness and mystery" (Philadelphia Inquirer). Mezzo Janice Felty joins the Network for New Music Ensemble once more for "now again" -- fragments from Sappho, and other compelling music from this Pulitzer Prize-winning composer.

Network for New Music, in collaboration with the American Philosophical Society (APS) Museum, is pleased to announce the Dialogues With Darwin Poetry Project.
Network for New Music invites poets to begin their own dialogue with Darwin. If you would like to participate: See the Darwin exhibition, write a poem in response to it, and submit it to Network for New Music. A group of 12-15 young composers drawn from six area universities (University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, University of the Arts, Curtis Institute, West Chester University, and University of Delaware) will choose poems from among those submitted, and will set them to music; some of those works will then be performed on a pair of Network for New Music concerts at the Society's Benjamin Franklin Hall on February 19 and 21, 2010.
For more information about the Dialogues with Darwin Exhibition, visit www.apsmuseum.org
