But what does it evoke\, and what does it express? \nThis synesthetic concert experience blends the intangibility of the countertenor voice with the invisibility\nof smell molecules. It explores how unseen elements––sound and smell––can provoke emotion and\nimprint long-lasting memories. \nIn collaboration with chemist\, linguist\, and artist Sissel Tolaas\, countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo\ndelves into both the wide-ranging cultural and an intimate personal history of falsetto. Through the use of\nsmell\, collective memories are created during the performance\, activated in tandem with the sound of\nthe voice. This live\, 75-minute show features an evocative musical program\, carefully woven together\nusing abstract smell molecules to encode distinct aspects of the COUNTERTENOR. \nCostanzo is joined by an ensemble of 15 musicians\, performing a program spanning over 400 years of\nmusic from the late Renaissance to the present\, including pieces by John Dowland\, Philip Glass\,\nOsvaldo Golijov\, Claudio Monteverdi\, Thomas Morley\, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\, Klaus Nomi\, Frankie\nValli\, Antonio Vivaldi\, and more\, with arrangements by Dan Schlosberg. \nThis performance contains smell experiences. \n  \n\nFEATURING: \nAnthony Roth Costanzo*\, countertenor & creator\nSissel Tolaas\, SMELL RE_searcher & artist\nDan Schlosberg\, music director\nLandon Wilson\, curator & producer\nBrandon Stirling Baker\, lighting designer \nAmir Farsi\, flute\nPaul Wonjin Cho\, clarinet/basset horn\nYasmina Spiegelberg\, clarinet/bass clarinet\nAlex Bender\, trumpet\nNicolee Kuester\, horn\nBurt Mason\, trombone\nDavid Cossin\, percussion\nChelsea Lane\, harp\nDan Schlosberg\, keyboards and direction\nLandon Wilson\, keyboards\nDušan Balarin\, theorbo/lute/electric guitar\nKeir GoGwilt*\, violin\nMiranda Cuckson*\, violin/viola\nColin Brookes\, viola\nColeman Itzkoff*\, cello\nEleonore Oppenheim\, contrabass \nJacob Mallinson Bird\, dramaturg\nIbrahim Kombarji\, design & installation support\nEmmy Skensved\, SMELL RE_searchLab assistant\nT.J.
