“Everything Rises\u201d is a timely collaboration, created by the Korean American violinist Jennifer Koh and Tines, that interrogates what it means to be a classical musician of color \u2014 to have chosen to make a creative life and professional career in a medium and a milieu that are overwhelmingly white, and to have tucked away fundamental elements of their identities in the process. The result of those inquiries is a compact, affecting and meditative multimedia work made entirely by people of color, including the composer and librettist Ken Ueno, the director Alexander Gedeon and the dramaturg Kee-Yoon Nahm.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

There are also moments of melancholic tenderness in \u201cEverything Rises,\u201d such as in the lullaby-like \u201cFluttering Heart,\u201d and testaments to enduring resilience. Over the course of the show, Tines and Koh hold each other up literally and figuratively: hearing, acknowledging and amplifying each other\u2019s stories.<\/p>\n

Ueno\u2019s score nods to 19th-century Western idioms, traditional Korean music and shimmering contemporary electronica. The effect is not a pastiche, but a sonic code switching. He also allows Tines and Koh \u2014 exemplary technicians and artists of profound intensity \u2014 to explore their full tonal and textural ranges. Moments of racial violence are evoked by Koh playing growling, guttural scratch tones, often on her open G string, while Tines cycles from his rich basso profundo to an ethereal falsetto.”
\nThe New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n

“…tightly structured and thoughtfully produced…The most moving aspect of the piece is the potent musical connection of these two superb performers: It gives them the strength to express their buried histories and traumas, using their artistic virtuosity, for an audience that is accustomed to seeing them in a different guise…the explicitly personal nature of \u201cEverything Rises\u201d demands that we see them unmasked and welcome their full experience as part of the canon.”
