PROGRAM NOTES
Vivid Blue evokes the vibrant colors and striking beauty of nature, a fragile ecosystem rapidly disappearing due to humanity’s impact. Flowing runs and bright flourishes converse with gentle, open chords, contrasting pools of calm with streams of activity. A vanishing world distilled for solo piano, Vivid Blue seeks to inspire listeners to preserve the beauty around us.
