Molly Hammond and other cast members of "The Last Haw"
Lumedia Musicworks will debut its silent short film “The Last Haw” online at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 2. It includes the early music ensemble performing French composer Joseph-Nicolas-Pancrace Royer’s famous “Le Vertigo.” The performance is offered at no charge, but donations are welcome.
“It’s been a great season for us, despite the pandemic forcing most of Lumedia’s performances online. We saw record donations and record registrations, including listeners and viewers from as far away as South Africa and Australia,” says Lumedia's artistic director Julianna Emanski. “We want to end our season by sharing a special performance for the city that has supported us since 2019.”
Lumedia is committed to performing and sharing early music in innovative ways and on historical reproductions of instruments from the baroque, renaissance and medieval periods, all at historical pitch. Lumedia’s core team is highly trained in historically-informed performance practices.
The performance will include Emanski, Molly Hammond of Houston, Christopher Phillpott of Frisco and Stephanie Noori of Westworth Village.
The story created for “The Last Haw” was inspired by and set to the music “Le Vertigo,” a harpsichord piece written in 1746. The silent western concept was the brainchild of Emanski and directed by Derrick Robert Brown of Dallas in the historic White Elephant Saloon in Fort Worth. Lumedia’s musicians recorded the music used in the ensemble’s short films.
