Colla Voce is a recital series created by pianist Maggie Rebers with the goal of cultivating a wider audience and a deeper appreciation for the art of chamber music and the vast treasury of repertoire it encompasses, with a special emphasis on art song. 'Colla Voce' is an Italian phrase often found in piano accompaniments meaning “with the voice”. The name alludes to the collaboration that takes place between a pianist and soloist, the way that they inform each other in subtle but powerful ways, and the musical expression that takes shape from those interactions. We want to celebrate the power which live performances have to create spontaneous moments of beauty shared between audience and performers. This active and intimate cooperation of musicians in the moment is the focus of this concert series.
