Al Maryah Island will host its first Soleil Noir, a one-of-a-kind event bringing live artists, music and entertainment together for one night. The five star hotel, Rosewood Abu Dhabi will set the stage for dynamic and talented urban artists - Sneakhotep, a master of calligraphic and geometric proclamations.
In a celebration of juxtapositions, Duke's own Ciompi Quartet will perform the world premiere of long-time collaborator and fellow faculty member John Supko's 2020 Soleil Noir ("Black Sun"), a "sinister-absurd" work - according to the composer - that rams aggressive chords against a tortured melodic line. To contrast, the program opens with a suite of airy English renaissance songs by John Dowland arranged for piano quintet, with the piano line delivered by Lithuanian pianist and Duke Music faculty member Ieva Jokubaviciute, another frequent Ciompi collaborator.
