Ania Helwing & Guests Present FEELINGS: CLOSED IN SCULPTURE AND A MUSICAL MOMENT | July 31, 2025
"FEELINGS: CLOSED IN SCULPTURE AND A MUSICAL MOMENT"
Ania Helwing - soprano
Katarzyna Helwing-Osuch - violin
Bartłomiej Helwing - guitar
Marina Roznitovsky Oster - harp
Tom Callahan - narrator
David Foster - sculpture
Local soprano, Ania Helwing, is joined by a talented group of guest musicians: her siblings from Poland, and a Reno harpist to present an American premiere of this special production that the Polish audience called "mesmerizing".
The concert theme is feelings which are the universal motive through ages among the creators of music and art. This concert will take the audience on a journey through joy, sadness, and hope, through the vehicles of voice, guitar, violin, harp, and sculpture.
The sculpture's lifeless material is transformed into harmonious figures thanks to the imagination and the soul of the sculptor. The presented artist is late eminent David Foster, known in the Lake Tahoe community for his fabulous marble, and bronze sculptures.
These figures, which are closed in a moment, have inspired us to tell an incredible musical story about feelings ever-surrounding love. The magical voice of Ania Helwing, and the instrumentalists: Katarzyna Helwing-Osuch (violin), Bartłomiej Helwing (guitar), and Marina Roznitovsky Oster (harp), together with a narrator, Tom Callahan, will magically blend sound and feelings to enliven the sculptures.
The repertoire encompasses Renaissance up to contemporary music in a variety of vocal and instrumental settings. First, the audience will hear Kreisler's happy march, Dowland's lyrical love songs, Handel's operatic depiction of sadness, Mozart's opera vernacular, Massenet's romantic, expressive tone, contemporary harpist's, Henson-Conant's sad song for harp and voice, and "Habanera Gris" with a Latin soul. This emotional storm gets calmer in the second half of the concert when music soothes in a poetic song by the 20th century Brazilian Villa-Lobos, and the melodies of the Argentinian tango king - Piazzola. The happy tone is set for good with "Sambinha" by Machado, Piaf's "Le Vie En Rose," and Denver's "Annie's Song."
