Inspired by the writings of Jorie Graham and Rachel Carson, libretto assembled by Peter Sellars and Matthew Aucoin 

DACAMERA Young Artists, students of the Shepherd School of Music and vocal soloists to be announced. 

A major new work and exciting first collaboration between the brilliant young composer Matthew Aucoin and legendary director Peter Sellars. A musical premiere is brought to life by five vocal soloists and an 18-instrument ensemble conducted by Matthew Aucoin. 

Music for New Bodies is an immersion in vast planetary processes: we follow the migration of eels to the depths of the Atlantic Basin; we hear the voice of the ocean floor itself, speaking with superhuman pressure and force; we experience humankind’s impact on our planet, and we also sense the presence of cycles so immense that they are beyond human influence.
