Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno have emerged as two of the most promising contemporary young roots artists, fluidly moving through old time, bluegrass, and classic country music with an ease of execution, and displaying a passion for the enterprise of reviving old music that is infectious with the audience.   

Viv & Riley play old-soul roots music, fluidly melding a backbone of Appalachian traditional music with fresh iconic melodies and the tightly wound vocal harmonies of indie folk. Both grew up steeped in old-time music, Leva in Lexington, Virginia and Calcagno in Seattle, Washington. After meeting in 2016 they soon collaborated on Leva’s debut record Time Is Everything which Rolling Stone wrote “shone a light on the past without giving up its place in the present.”

In support of the record, they embarked on an extensive tour that stretched to the most northern reaches of Canada and overseas to Europe. Over the course of these varied and occasionally lonesome shows and travels, the pair developed their collaboration into a distinct sound that led to the imagination and writing of their new eponymous record Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno, out now on Free Dirt Records. We’re happy and honored to have them back on our stage once again at Focal Point.

Close to Saint Valentine’s Day, the Chamber Chorus offers a program that celebrates the intensity of human emotions that are love and hate, feelings that are often parallels. The ancient Roman poet Catullus explores this contrast in a short poem, “Odi et Amo,” which is heard in three versions from the Renaissance to the present day. Another contemporary composer, Francis Pott from England, delves into the consuming power of love upon our senses in a song cycle he wrote for the Chorus back in 2017. Its title, “Ardor Amoris,” is taken from a Latin poem set by Orlandus Lassus in 1570, of which the Chorus gives the St. Louis première. A past commission by another English composer, Sasha Johnson Manning, blends ancient and modern verses, and demonstrates the Chamber Chorus’s signature style of ‘double choir singing.’ Similarly, “Tonight I Dance Alone” was written for the choir in 2017, and tells of the enduring love between spouses, with Swedish composer Mårten Jansson setting a new poem by Charles Anthony Silvestri. Finally, the Australian composer, Melissa Dunphy, offers a second arrangement of a Trent Reznor song for Nine Inch Nails. “Right Where It Belongs” is a companion piece to her previous treatment of Reznor’s  “Hurt,” and it will receive its first performance at the February 16 concert.
