In 2020, the world celebrated the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth; five years later, Mallarme Music will pay tribute to the composer’s legacy and his contribution to our world, with an original script by Jeff Neuman: Incessant Hum.
Commissioned by the Colorado Chamber Players, the production is a chamber music/theatre hybrid in honor of Beethoven. Playwright Neuman is himself profoundly hard of hearing.
Directed by Eric Love, Incessant Hum explores the emotional world that Beethoven experienced, as he lost his hearing and his ability to perform as a pianist and conductor. With Austin Campion as Beethoven and Alissa Roca as the mysterious Elise, Mallarme Music performs excerpts from the op. 95 and 135 quartets; the Archduke Trio; Piano Sonata, op. 32 and Moonlight Sonata; Cello and Piano Sonata No. 5 in D Major; and “Ode To Joy” from Symphony No. 9.
