The Mirror Visions Ensemble explores The Disappearing Art of Letter Writing: letters of love and vengeance, reports from the North Pole, missives asking for money or forgiveness. Featured is the correspondence of Abraham Lincoln, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Gertrude Stein. Tom Cipullo provides indispensable instruction for letter writing with the newly commissioned What Shall I Say?, along with works by Gwyneth Walker, Cole Porter, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Dominick Argento, Richard Pearson Thomas and Christopher Berg.
