Death and Conception
According to Buddhist teachings, a life in any one existence begins at conception and ends at death.
In this program for solo violin program, I aim to explore these two ideas with music inspired by Eastern ideologies and cultural practices - we have so much Western concert repertoire that speaks to the nature of life and death, creation and destruction, and so I felt compelled to pull together a series of pieces that speak to the Eastern view of these concepts. Works by Cage, Du Yun, Esmail, and others.
