The Underground Sounds series in the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern returns, featuring Sarah Grace Graves performing her composition "Three Names," inspired by the vast, unique architecture of the Cistern and arranged especially for its natural acoustics.
Graves is a composer and vocal performer working at the intersection between ritual and recital. She pulls inspiration from a variety of media, including classical literature and archival music recordings, to weave together stories through a blend of thoughtful compositions and improvisation.
"Three Names" is an adaptation of "Vespro," a program she presented in Rome in 2023, now reimagined for the cavernous Cistern. Inspired by her performance for the Scelsi Foundation honoring soprano Michiko Hirayama, "Three Names" draws from Hirayama’s fascination with Gregorian chant and Graves’s personal connections to spirituality and experimental music, exploring vastness, interiority, and harmony between past and future selves.
