Description
Renowned pianist, opera coach, conductor, teacher, and writer Kathleen Kelly commissioned Juliana Hall to set her poem TORNADO as an art song, which was premiered by soprano Caitlin Lynch with Kathleen Kelly playing piano, on a program of the Detroit Song Collective at The Scarab Club in Detroit, Michigan on October 26, 2019. Kelly, in a blog post, shared how Hall found the “humor, sexiness, and allure” inside of the poem, despite its many “images of terror and fear.” Both performers described the song as an “exhilarating ride” that is “fabulous!”
