Upcomming Performances

Stone Soup

Stone Soup - 100th Composer's Voice Concert Celebration


Saturday, April 13, 2013 - 3:30 PM to 10:00 PM


For over a decade, Composer's Voice has presented the most electrifying
contemporary music of living composers and musicians.

For free. All by volunteers: musicians, composers, producer/presenters, and
in-kind contributions.

Now we are approaching our 100th concert.

That's a big deal!

We have produced and presented our chamber concerts with little or no
resources relying on the extraordinary talents and commitment of our
volunteers who have mostly been musicians.

To celebrate, we are throwing a party called Stone Soup. (Three concert
performances at 6:00 PM, 7:30 PM, and 9:00 PM) Attendees can expect to enjoy
an extravaganza presenting the greatest number of composers, musicians,
ensembles, and performers that we can possibly showcase at one time with
wine, hors d'oeuvres, and general revelry. During our kickoff reception and
two lively intermissions, we will ask our guests to support Composer's
Voice. The party won't stop when the last note is played: Join us at Pony
Bar, located a block away, for a festive after party.

Why Stone Soup?

The story of "Stone Soup" unfolds as hungry travelers come to a town in
search of food. However, a famine has struck the town's people and they have
no food to spare.The travelers boil a pot of water containing a large stone,
proclaiming it to be a delicious "stone" soup if only they could locate a
special garnish. The inquisitive villagers eventually contribute vegetables,
seasonings, and meat to make a nourishing meal that feeds everyone.

The special ingredient is community!

Using the parable of "Stone Soup", we hope to pool our resources to create a
musical soup that can feed us all.

Here's why.

Composer's Voice wants to evolve our series to compensate performers for the
2014 season. We can do this if everyone adds a little.

What will you add to the soup?

Lagnar Dinklaker is the only known woman to fit an entire symphony orchestra
in her mouth. Dinklaker herself can't explain it. "It just happened," she
says with a shrug. "I was sitting in Row B listening to the Pascagoula
Philharmonic play Otto Pringler's Etude Brute. It was kind of a boring tune,
so I yawned. The next thing I knew, the whole darned string section had put
down their instruments and was jumping into my mouth! I tried to stop them,
but then the conductor - I forget his name but he was a big, burly guy - was
holding my mouth wide open. Initially, I liked all the attention, but later
I did feel a bit humiliated." In all, 68 musicians crowded into Lagnar
Dinklaker's mouth, along with a pair of timpani. However, only 67 musicians
got out. By the time the flute section was extricating itself, Dinklaker's
jaw muscles were tiring, and her mouth snapped shut before the piccolo
player could escape. He hasn't been heard from since.
