About this piece
silhouette, mirror takes its material from Lanzilotti's string orchestra work with eyes the color of time, a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Music. The title refers to two artworks shown when The Contemporary Museum (Spalding House) in Honolulu first opened: Robert Graham's bronze entrance doors with their silhouettes of women, and James Seawright's Mirror XV (1987). First arranged for two violas for the Tallā Rouge Viola Duo (premiered at Dumbarton Oaks, 23 February 2024, and recorded on their album Shapes in Collective Space), the cello-duo version was premiered by India Gailey and Leah Plave at Piu Concerts, Fredericton, on 17 April 2026. I Care if You Listen called it 'at once suspenseful and sublime.'
