Mission Statement
The Orpheus Project seeks to present Ricky Ian Gordon's dramatic song cycle Orpheus and Euridice through fully realized live performances. The Greek myth's themes of devoted love and the creation of beauty out of suffering are as relevant now as they were thousands of years ago. Gordon's contemporary setting of the Orphic tragedy, for clarinet, soprano, and piano, translates the myth's powerful lessons into a modern tale that gives both perspective and hope to the problems of our times.
