Hagen, the 2015 BC Touring Council Artist of the Year, performs all thirteen preludes of Rachmaninoff’s Opus 32, interspersed with stories and poems from Brendan McLeod, the former Canadian SLAM champion. The result is a narrative journey that focuses on Rachmaninoff’s life – his exile from Russia, his battle with depression, his tireless work ethic and dedication to beauty- in order to examine the estrangements, losses, and redemption at the heart of contemporary political and social life. Centered by Hagen’s intricate, passionate rendition of Rachmaninoff’s compositions, Exultation is a stirring, unique exploration of how to make the world worthy of its music.
