Michiko Hirayama: Scelsi’s Canti del Capricorno

The legendary vocalist Michiko Hirayama makes her first Los Angeles appearance with a must-hear performance of Giacinto Scelsi’s Canti del Capricorno—the spellbinding 20-song cycle written expressly for her between 1962 and 1972. Now in her 80s, Hirayama is one of the last living links to the eccentric Italian composer and poet whose works are seldom performed live in the United States.
