PSO concert "Head and Heart" featuring the Maine premiere of "Headcase"

January 22, 2010

Brett Dietz was only 29 when he suffered a major stroke. It left him partially paralyzed and completely unable to speak. His doctors held out little hope that he would regain those functions, but after more than a year of rehab, his brain did manage to heal itself, pretty much. And today Dietz has almost fully recovered. His neurologist suggested he write a book about his experience, but being a composer, Dietz decided to write a piece of music instead -- an opera in fact. The result is "Headcase," which is being performed by the Portland Symphony Orchestra January 23, 2010.

On Wednesday, June 11, we heard a track off of this CD specifically written for Nicola Benedetti titled "Dhyana:  A Song for Nicola" for solo violin and strings by Sir John Taverner.

 

Here are some of your reactions:

 

"Beautiful, I would very much like to hear it again."

 

"Taverner, Benedetti, et al mesmerizing. Thanks." 

"A delightful violin piece. It was lovely and very soothing, just what I needed as I get ready to go out!"
