Program Notes

Young Japanese composer Naoya Wada’s new composition, The Promise of Hope is an uplifting work that young students will enjoy rehearsing and performing. Full of wonderful teaching materials, the infectious melodies and vibrant rhythms combine to produce a sound that sounds much more difficult than it really is.

As the Dawn Breaks was written for Pettomo, my friend.
