CMP and Music at Third present an immersive evening of music and movement dedicated to innovative 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc. The Voices of Poulenc evokes the emotional connections between his instrumental and dramatic music through two remarkable works: his final piece, the Oboe Sonata, and the solo opera La voix humaine (The Human Voice). Join us to learn the history of a unique composer, enjoy a glass of wine, and experience an unforgettable collaborative production featuring talented Pittsburgh-based performers.
The program begins with Poulenc’s final composition, the Oboe Sonata, which The New York Times described as a “paradoxical mix of the elegiac, the suave and the clever.” Then, Winnica Young and Kato join forces for an immersive staging of La voix humaine, a 40-minute opera work inspired by the Jean Cocteau play. With “beautiful lyricism and powerful drama” (San Francisco Classical Voice), La voix humaine illustrates the resonant intensity of a love unraveling.

Lost on a Loom examines lost South Asian histories through the lens of Indian Textiles and Fabrics. Known for their vibrant colors, alluring textures, and indigenous motifs symbolizing various aspects of culture, trade, religion and nature, these materials hold stories that have molded South Asia’s history as well as its ties to a Colonial past.
The piece will explore color, shape, movement, and historical contexts of various fabrics including Kantha Embroidery brought to the United States by Bengali Peddlers in the late 1800’s, Khadi, a homespun natural fabric that was the centerpiece of India’s Independence Movement, Jute Fabrics spiraling out from peasant communities in the Bengal Delta into the world market, the Ready Made Garment Industry in Bangladesh along with the collapse of the Raza Plaza and finally Dhaka Muslin, a fine and delicate cloth once worn by royalty which no longer exists.
Weaving together a first-generation Bengali protagonist with the stories of fabric from Bengal, the piece uses dance, storytelling, video imagery, familial narratives, and recollections of the past, to draw parallels to the movement of material, the movement(s) of people and economic and social disparities that continue to remain etched into the fabric of modern history.
