New Zealand artist, Victoria Kelly, joins Sofía Kent on 95bFM to discuss their composition, commissioned by the NZSO, created in response to the 13th century Christian script, Stabat Mater.
Stabat Mater follows Mary's suffering after the cruxifixion of her son, Jesus. Rossini's composition of the Stabat Mater is to be performed by the NZSO and Voices New Zealand, followed by Kelly's composition of a contemporary interpretation.
Kelly discusses their adolescent relationship with religion and how it evolved with openness to a spectrum of worldviews. She recognises important themes of human hypocrisy and fluid femininity in her response; rewriting Mary's fate to an alternate version where she saves her child.
Standing on political, introspective, and extrospective messages through composition is a task Kelly delves into with sage advice for creators maintaining authenticity in today's churn of 'content'.
