Tippet Rise on Tour is a virtual three-day festival of 10 short films.

Each day of the festival will begin with a 5:30PM MDT live “backstage” gathering via Zoom, giving artists the opportunity to discuss their performances, followed by the release of the films at 6PM MDT (Zoom link to be available here at a later date.)

The second day of Tippet Rise on Tour: Spring Festival, Saturday, April 17, will highlight pianist Richard Goode, one of today’s most revered American recitalists, performing works by Debussy, Brahms, and Mozart and reciting poems by Charles Tomlinson and Wallace Stevens. MacArthur Fellow Claire Chase will perform the world premiere of The Haunted Orchard, composed by Bora Yoon; the work for flute and electronics is a co-commission by Tippet Rise and the Adele and John Gray Endowment Fund. The evening continues with Canadian baritone Tyler Duncan, co-founder of Sparks & Wiry Cries, and pianist Erika Switzer presenting art songs and concludes with GRAMMY-nominated violinist Tessa Lark performing Corigliano’s Stomp. These performances were also filmed at the DiMenna Center.
