World Premier of Lassen Awakes! with the North State Symphony
This symphonic work was co-commissioned by the North State Symphony and Lassen Volcanic National Park through the park's Artist-in-Residence program. The work depicts an introspective stroll through a serene forest, an unnerving encounter with the park's many hydrothermal features (which I recorded during my time in the park), a cataclysmic eruption, and finally a reflection on the inevitability of both destruction and renewal.
This is the first of what will be a series of National Park-inspired symphonic works from around the United States. Next in this series will be a piece entitled "The Sacrifice of Prometheus," inspired by my 2023 residency at Great Basin National Park in Nevada, and pieces resulting my from my 2024 residencies at Joshua Tree and Voyageurs National Parks.
NEW ART!
