Program Notes

An epic, cinematic approach to celebrate humankind's collective quest for wisdom, inspired by a sculpture of a group of people walking skyward into infinity. With pulsing percussion, heroic brass, haunting melodies, sudden shifts in dynamics, and dramatic key changes, everyone in the ensemble gets a chance to star in this exciting mini-movie score.
