Written + premiered at the Sō Percussion Summer Institute, July 2021

Program note
somewhere, once in a lullaby. a lost self… what if you never got the chance to meet yourself? what if someone entered your inner world and stole you away? are you a stranger in a shell? how can you trust others, much less yourself, when your self is being held by someone else, somewhere else…but where? if I could fly like the blue birds, I’d look everywhere. where am I?

Calvin Hitchcock is a composer, performer, and music director based in Jersey City, NJ. Described as “impressive,” and having “a fine ear for sonority” (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review), his work explores musical memory, themes of religious control, subversion and faith, and experiments with narrative form and interdisciplinary integration. His opera “819: based on the Stanford Prison Experiment” placed second in the 2019-20 American Prize, and he has received honors from the Kennedy Center for his incidental music. Recently, Calvin was a 2022-23 Artist-in-Residence at Nancy Manocherian’s the cell theatre, developing his new opera-theatre work PROPHET$.

In addition to working as a music director, pianist and entertainer, Calvin is a Teaching Artist for TADA! Youth Theater in Manhattan and the Brooklyn Music Factory. He holds a BM in Composition from Cedarville University, a Southern Baptist university in Ohio, and and an MM from The New School, where he studied with David T. Little. www.calvinhitchcock.com
