CAMPGround26 Commissioned Composers
CAMPGround26’s opening concert at Tempus Projects presents three world premieres of new monodramas written by composers from the Iranian Female Composers Association (IFCA): Mojan Alaiyeh, Negar Soley, and Parastoo Shafiei. Composed for soprano Jamie Jordan (soloist) and CAMP ensemble, these composers were responsible for both text and libretto. Under the motto of “HOPE, COURAGE, and DREAM,” their works explore complex human emotions and a wide range of ensemble sounds.
