Illuminating Apologues Performance

In 2021, Maggie Polk Olivo’s started composing “Illuminating Apologues” for Amity Trio in collaboration with visual artist Haran Kim and poet Luba Winship. The project combines a love of music composition, collaborative art making, and programming with youth in mind.

The song cycle contains six character studies on different animals and times from our past. Commissioned by Amity Trio in 2021, the cycle is written for soprano, horn, and piano, with optional children’s choir, Orff xylophone, movement, and keyboard parts.

The Amity Trio is a chamber ensemble for soprano, horn, and piano that was founded in 2018 to promote music by living composers through performing and teaching around the globe. Amity Trio’s mission is to contribute to a more equitable distribution of artistic voices on a global scale by performing music by underrepresented composers, for a variety of audience interests, locations, and socioeconomic strata.
