PERFORMANCE
New Nothing: Josephine Foster & Victor Herrero
Friday, April 2, 8 PM
Concert Hall
$15/10/5

In the final New Nothing of the season, two unusual composer/
performers offer different, lush takes on the construction the song.
Josephine Foster ("a Grace Slick for the 21st century" - Arthur
magazine) transforms the spartan poems of Emily Dickinson with her
otherworldly soprano. And Victor Herrero performs his wordless songs
for the Spanish guitar.

Josephine Foster bio:
Josephine Foster is a singer-songwriter from Colorado whose music
evokes everything from opera to Tin Pan alley to the folk music of
what Greil Marcus calls "the old weird America." Her albums include
There Are Eyes Above (2000), Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You (2005),This
Coming Gladness (2008), and Graphic as a Star (2009), a song-cycle
based on the poems of Emily Dickenson.
