Guest bassoonist Martin Van Klompenberg and I perform music, not together in duet but in a tag team of solo pieces. Musical themes focus on the one, whether it be the unique properties of various stones, feelings of isolation during the pandemic, expansions of the sound of one person through electronics, or the projection of the voices of individuals who fled their home countries in search of safety. When we take time to slow down, reflect, and observe, we find fascinating depth in the details, the Worlds Within the One.

This concert features the true premiere of Pa-Hay-Okee, Improvisations V, Improvisations VI, and two movements from The Story of Our Journey.
