Singer, songwriter and musician Esperanza Spalding, also a Collaborative Partner with the S.F. Symphony, brings her new project to Stanford.
Musician, singer and composer Esperanza Spalding plays at Stanford University’s Frost Amphitheater on July 14.Step by step, note by note, and spell by spell, Esperanza Spalding seeks to break down the walls that keep music contained in clubs and concert halls.
Her most striking recent experiment is the 13-minute film “Formwela 12” featuring legendary dancer and choreographer Carmen de Lavallade, who cut a brilliant path across Broadway, ballet, Hollywood, and modern dance before shaping a rising generation of actors and playwrights at the Yale School of Drama .
She started talking with New York dancer and choreographer Antonio Brown about collaborating while working on her 2018 album “12 Little Spells,” a project in which each song is linked to a specific body part . But they fell out of touch when she moved to Los Angeles to finish and stage the opera she created with jazz legend Wayne Shorter, “…,” which made its West Coast premiere last February at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall.
“I’m more interested in inviting people to get as close to the point of emergence of an idea or the result of an idea,” she said. Spalding was a featured performer last October at the Davies Symphony Hall concert kicking off the Symphony’s 2021-22 season. The fact that Alonzo King LINES Ballet was part of the program was another kismet encounter with a choreographer she describes as her “hero.” Spalding has come to deeply identify with King’s insistence that music and dance, and musicians and dancers, are one and the same.
