On March 5, the Meara O’Reilly Vocal Ensemble performs new works 2220 Arts + Archives at a concert staged by UPEND.

At this special hometown show, LA-based vocalists Mingjia Chen, Linnea Sablosky, Jodie Landau, and Eliza Bagg bring to our ears two new pieces for four voices by this inventive composer, whose music plays with perceptual and unique compositional techniques to explore new modes of vocal expression.

The program will also feature Mingjia Chen and Linnea Sablosky performing Hockets for Two Voices—O’Reilly’s touchstone work from 2019—as well as another set of hockets, originally written for two flutes and newly adapted for this vocal duo.

Alan Wyffels opens the night with a solo keyboard set.
