Duo Album and Cello Concerto
Lost Coast is a dynamic work of original music composed by Gabriella Smith for cellist Gabriel Cabezas. It is inspired by the beauty and power of nature and the climate emergency which threatens to devastate it.
This multi-faceted project began its life as sketches for a conceived work for cello and orchestra. Upon entering Reykjavik’s Greenhouse Studios with producer Nadia Sirota, Gabriella embraced a new way to put her musical ideas forward. The result is a 7 track album, anchored by the three-movement central work, re-imagined as a dense soundscape predominantly comprised of layered voice and cello. It was released June 25th, 2021 on Bedroom Community.
Now, the project has come full circle. Lost Coast, for amplified cello and full orchestra, was premiered by Gabriel Cabezas, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Gustavo Dudamel on May 25-27, 2023.
Listen to Gabriella Smith’s Lost Coast: Joyful Climate Action through Music, an audio piece produced by Nadia Sirota and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for California Festival.
