Quarantine Camp is a song cycle for voice and piano on poetry by American poet Ryan Vine. The work tries to capture the various emotions we’ve all felt during the Covid-19 pandemic from anxiety and solitude to fear and frustration. It was commissioned by The German Forum and premiered at the inaugural installation of the virtual concert series “Songs from Afar” streamed online in February 2021 with mezzo-soprano Eva Maria Summerer and the composer at the piano.
Quarantine Camp was awarded 2nd Prize in the 2023 National Association of Teachers of Singing Art Song Composition Award.
