Concert II: Wild

There are countless reasons to escape. Some people leave their homes out of a sense of curiosity and adventure. For others, the stakes are higher. While some run towards a destination, others run from danger, needing to be anywhere but where they started. Each piece of music relies on motion to create, live in, and evolve a unique sound world. In this concert, the music, like our travels, will walk the line between anxiety and hope, and may take some unexpected twists and turns towards uncertain destinations.
