Program Notes
This work was composed to celebrate all underrepresented composers. The work was specifically composed to raise funds for the wonderful organization, And We Were Heard. They provide a platform and advocacy for music composed by underrepresented composers to be heard. And We Were Heard also strives to help conductors/teachers explore the importance of diverse programming.
The work itself starts in a very dark place, a place where students are not able to join together to make music. This is a place of confusion, sadness, with a glimmer of hope for the future. The work develops into a joyous celebration for the day we get to perform music together again.
Reunion is dedicated to all who lost their battle with Covid-19 and their families.
