DARK TALES by Duo Concertante presents Alice Ping Yee Ho’s evocative five-movement work by the same name. Inspired by poet Tom Dawe’s story collection called An Old Man’s Winter Night, each movement — arranged for piano and violin — channels a ghost story rooted in Newfoundland folklore. The music brings to life Dawe’s stories of shipwrecked spirits, spectral brides, ghost animals, and fairy hauntings. This programmatic work is informed by the composer’s personal connection to ghost lore from her own Chinese heritage. Originally premiered in an immersive performance with three-dimensional projections, DARK TALES draws listeners into the mystery and enchantment of the spirit world.
