Lucy Dhegrae is NewMusicBox’s September Conversation
September 3, 2019
““The beautiful thing about a singer is that you contain this history of where you came from and the current moment, and you become this embodiment of colliding worlds. So that’s what I want to see. Then I want to put all of those people together and let them hear each other’s music, and be inspired.””
Resonant Bodies founder Lucy Dhegrae sat down with NewMusicBox to talk about the 2019 festival, the physicality of singing, and her journey to becoming the fierce advocate and curator she is today. The result is “The Art and Science behind The Voice,” a fascinating video and digital feature.
Noted as “equal measures intelligent, playful, ambitious and moving” by The New York Times, Resonant Bodies is a festival of contemporary vocal music that presents "today's most talented singers" (Feast of Music) performing repertoire of their own choosing. This year's festival features performers ranging from Metropolitan Opera star Stephanie Blythe to composer-performer Erin Gee.
