Julia Wolfe's my lips from speaking performed by Vicky Chow and David Friend (Moral WAr AISLE A VIA wine - Sun, May 7 12:30pm BRIC Lobby Julia Wolfe's my lips from speaking is inspired by the opening few chords played on piano by Aretha Franklin in her hit tune "Think". It is a fantastic musical moment. my lips from speaking takes this bit of music fragments it, spreads it out, and wildly spins it into a kind of ecstatic frenzy. The title is taken from the biblical line, "Guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceit." - a nod to the deeply spiritual musical background from which the great Aretha Franklin emerged. my lips from speaking, in its original form, was written for 6 live pianos. This arrangement for two live pianists at Long Play will be performed by longtime Bang on a Can pianists David Friend and Vicky Chow.

I saw Caroline Shaw and So Percussion last night at the Kennedy Center and they were amazing. The most amazing thing was SO doing Julia Wolfe's composition "Forbidden Love." You really have to see it to believe it. This version is from a couple years ago but is equally fun: https://youtu.be/uAbXpdJsA6E
