Program Note:
I would like to tell you a story, although it pains me to say it is not a happy one. This is a story of loss, fractured dreams, broken things. It is a story of unraveling echoes, stolen from their resonant, soulful chambers at the peek of peaceful harmony. It is one of absence, of a shattered vessel, no longer able to be called home. A story that, although new to you, is tragically all too familiar. However, I only offer you its essence—the details of the story are your own to devise.
