Seattle Modern Orchestra presents Kate Soper’s evening-long chamber music theater work "Ipsa Dixit" (“She, herself, said it…”) at Raisbeck Auditorium. A Pulitzer Prize finalist, Soper’s work explores the intersections of language and music and has been described as “a twenty-first century masterpiece ... a ninety-minute tour de force …call it philosophy-opera” (Alex Ross, The New Yorker). SMO performance features local soprano Maria Männistö alongside musicians Sarah Pyle (flute), Eric Rynes (violin), and Bonnie Whiting (percussion). This dramatic showcase will be directed by C. Neil Parsons and includes immersive lighting design.
