“Women must write themselves: women must write of women, and bring women to writing, from which they have been as violently estranged as they have been from their bodies.” It was with these words by Hélène Cixous in mind that Trio SR9 and Kyrie Kristmanson built this new “Venus Rising” repertoire. How have women composers set their sacred and/or profane bodies and desires to music over the centuries? Together, they aim to bring to the fore a repertoire made up exclusively of works by women, spanning eight hundred years of musical writing, from Baroque, Classical and Romantic melodies to the music of today. Venus Rising criss-crosses the ages through original arrangements carried by Kyrie Kristmanson's voice and the various percussion instruments of Trio SR9: marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel and prepared piano.
