Inspired by the Los desastres de la guerra (Disasters of War) etchings of Francisco Goya, The Unlearning is a collection of 21 songs for violin, cello and two voices composed between 2009–2011. Performed in duo with the extraordinary violinist/vocalist Carla Kihlstedt (Tin Hat, Rabbit Rabbit, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) this intimate and unique work is a fierce serenade blending folk, noise, lyricism, humor and irony: aural meditations that invite the listener to contemplate on violence and the enigma of continual war in today’s topsy-turvy world. The performance will be concurrent with the exhibition of several etchings from the Disasters of War series.
