Program Note

Sagittarius A* (2024) is named after the black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The piece draws from a dream I had when I was young; a whimsical imagining of what it might have been like to play a role in the creation of the universe. To capture this whimsy, I chose to render the score in colored pencil and include graphic elements—mirroring my dream by inviting the players to take part in the creation of the music themselves.
