Gemma Peacocke: ‘A Strange Power,’ Sputter Box, Charlotte Mundy
Gemma Peacocke’s ‘A Strange Power’ is a 45-minute cantata about the tangled web of romance, free love, creation, and death in the early lives of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley and her step-sister, Claire Clairmont. Scored for two sopranos, clarinet, piano, percussion, and cello, the work will be performed by Sputter Box with guest performers: vocalist Charlotte Mundy, cellist Aaron Wolff, and pianist Isabelle O'Connell.
