BECOMING -
Suite for Mixed Ensemble
OUT NOW!
“BECOMING" observes where we are going as humanity, as well as change on an individual and global level.
Each of the three movements offers a different perspective.
​
Musically, I tried to translate and blend inspirations from various musical traditions
into written pieces for a (mixed) classical ensemble
