The Color of Where You Can Never Go

October 05, 2025

Info / Tickets

Description

The color of where you can never go is an afternoon in a thrall of uncrossable distances. The recital takes its name from Christopher Trapani’s lushly resonant song cycle on prose by Rebecca Solnit, and gives voice to “that melancholy wonder that is the blue of distance.” Amelia Brey’s indignant Eurydice and Sofía Rocha’s aching The River explore the pain of impossible returns, while Eve Beglarian’s weightless Dream Amid Bed–woods offers a warning not to give into the seductions of a lushly described “orchard dormitory.” Beglarian’s meditation Peace invites stillness even amid the knowledge of “another valley.” Vast distances between intimates animates Herschel Garfein’s A Tuesday Spot and Shawn Chang’s Blue, a humorous confessional that traverses the wastelands and dead ends of social media. Sopranos Sharon Harms and Emily Finke make their NYFOS debuts, and are joined by baritone Gregory Feldmann and mezzo-soprano Devony Smith.
