Kaddish for Him and Her
Shelley Hirsch will complete “Kaddish for Him and Her”, a 5.1 surround sound choral piece in memory of the artists late parents. The listener is immersed in a field of moving voices: a Greek chorus of the artists parents and sisters, family voices from prerecorded interviews, and the voices of Hirsch, spoken and sung. These are multitracked, spatialized and processed to create an experience of place. The piece will be presented at various places in the US and Europe. Shelley recently received the Alpert/Ucross Residency Prize in Music.
