CWP Evolution Festival presents WAKE & FORGET-ME-NOTS
June 11, 2026
The Center at West Park presents Wake by Alex Koi x Kirin McElwain and Forget-Me-Nots by Ceridwen McCooey in a double-bill showcasing NYC cellists experimenting with new musical forms.
Alex Koi x Kirin McElwain is a duo of original music for voice, cello, and modular synthesizer. Floating between through-composed structures and free improvisation, their music explores themes of death, non-belonging, and dreams.
Forget-Me-Nots is an evocative meditation on memory, migration and farewell, where award-winning cellist, vocalist, and composer Ceridwen McCooey performs a richly textured work that explores the emotions of saying goodbye, not only to people, but to places, homes, and moments in time.
