ReSounding offers two themes: voices lost to history and now revived, and the scenic and spiritual transcending musical cultures.

We begin with Debussy’s summer-winter preludes. Mendelssohn-Hensel's Easter Sonata fuses Romantic Lieder and virtuosity with an homage to Bach. Written in 1828, the Sonata was lost to the archives, then mistakenly attributed to her brother Felix, and only premiered under the right name in 2010. The finale depicts the earthquake in St Matthew’s Passion—an uncanny link to Buencamino’s Fantasy on the most active volcano in the Philippines. The tension between tradition and innovation is revisited in Schumann’s bold take on Beethoven’s famous symphonic theme. We conclude the evening with African-American composer Price’s Fantasie nègre No.2, written in 1932 but only premiered and published in 2020, and a triumphant celebration of her identity.
