Pauchi Sasaki’s ARTEMIS
Presented in collaboration with New Latin Wave
The New Latin Wave brings their popular Latine Composers Showcase to the Atrium for four nights only with some of New York’s most unique Latine voices. Composer-performer Pauchi Sasaki presents another installment of her opera ARTEMIS, a multi-year project inspired by NASA’s program to bring the first woman to the Moon’s surface in 2026.
Known for her interdisciplinary approach, integrating musical composition with multimedia performance, new technologies, and self-designed instruments, Pauchi explores in this project the relationship and tensions between the female body, metal, technology, futurism and power. ARTEMIS Opera aims to celebrate and bring light to this milestone in women's history in our pursuit of knowledge and new discoveries. This opera is envisioned as a transcultural coven, a rite of passage where the voices of women from all cultures and times resonate and get amplified.
This presentation will feature the piano duo Clara & Marie Becker, violinist Jennifer Curtis, violist Mario Gotoh, cellist Michael Nicolas, percussionist Nava Dunkelman; and the work of video artists Juan Carlos Yanaura, Vincent Moon, Nomi Sasaki, and Omar Lavalle.
This concert will present two world premieres: “ARTEMIS: Recitative” commissioned by HELLERAU – Europäisches Zentrum der Künste, Dresdner Musikfestspiele und Stiftung Kunst und Musik für Dresden; and “k’uKu”, commissioned by Americas Society.
