Karol Bennett & Musiqa - Sebastian Currier: Deep-Sky Objects - Trevor Weston: Stars (2025) Hi-Res

Experience the humanity and splendor of outer space with DEEP-SKY OBJECTS/STARS, an album of two works for soprano and ensemble by Musiqa. Sebastian Currier’s Deep-Sky Objects, with lyrics from Sarah Manguso’s poetry, reimagines the great Romantic song cycles with electronic sounds and a tale of intergalactic longing. Trevor Weston’s Stars, with lyrics from Robert Hayden’s poetry, ponders the night sky and its profound impact on thought through the ages.

Each piece was commissioned by Musiqa, a cutting-edge chamber ensemble at the forefront of contemporary music. The Houston-based group provides a melting pot for artistic collaboration, with a focus on community-oriented productions that highlight our shared experiences as humans.
