Broad Street Love

We tap our vast catalogue of commissioned works for those that examine “Where we are”; the assessment, if not always optimistic, is tirelessly honest and inquisitive as heard through the music of some of the country’s most adventurous composers. A new work of Canadian composer Nicole Lizée and works of David Lang, Shara Nova, Julia Wolfe, Michael Gordon, Stratis Minakakis, John Luther Adams, Edie Hill, Caroline Shaw, and Gabriel Jackson form a kind of musical quilt that says, “We are here, and this is what it feels like to be here.”&nbsp;

Nicole Lizée’s new work is commissioned by The Crossing and Donald Nally, Volti, and Cantori New York.&nbsp;

Digging still deeper into our catalogue of commissions, we find the extraordinary community of Philadelphians, writing new works in this Place of the Declaration and sending out musical messages to the far corners of the globe. Composers Jennifer Higdon, Kile Smith, Robert Maggio, Julia Wolfe, James Primosch, Benjamin C.S. Boyle, and Tyshawn Sorey cover the stylistic landscape and explore everything from FDR’s vision of Democracy, to the disappearance of bluestem grasses, to love, and to jazz.&nbsp;

Morton Contemporary Art Gallery

Los Angeles–based artist <a href="https://www.donnaisham.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Donna Isham</a> will debut her work in Philadelphia with Alchemy: The Sound of Color at Morton Contemporary, opening Saturday, June 6 from 6 - 8pm - free and open to the public and will be up&nbsp;through to July 31. The exhibition is a collaboration with her husband, acclaimed composer Mark Isham—an Emmy and Grammy Award–winning musician and Academy Award–nominated film composer—whose work spans film scores such as Crash and A River Runs Through It.
Together, they’ve developed a unique immersive practice that blends large-scale painting with projection-mapped animation and original musical compositions, creating environments that exist somewhere between contemporary art, film, and performance. The work invites viewers to slow down, sit with the paintings, and experience them through sound and light as well as image—something that feels especially relevant at a moment when most visual engagement happens through screens.
What makes this particularly compelling for a feature is the collaboration itself: Donna’s background in painting and visual storytelling meets Mark’s decades-long career in music and film scoring, resulting in a rare dialogue between disciplines. Their process—bridging painting (which traditionally exists outside of time) with music (which unfolds within it)—is both conceptually rich and visually striking.
