You’re invited to my graduating Master’s composition recital, in person at Pickman Hall in Cambridge, MA and over livestream!🎉 Waypoints: Songs of Reinvention is a musical self-portrait tracing the arc of transformation from the artist I was before arriving in Boston to the one I’ve become. This program weaves together structured musical forms–canons, inventions, and fugues–with nature-inspired art songs commissioned by Appalachian Mountain Club, indie pop–inflected works for chamber ensemble and voice, an arrangement of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music”–a classic tune reinterpreted through my lens, and more. Alongside finished pieces, I’ll share fragments from the journey: voice memos captured on hikes, sketches of lyrics and melodies from earlier chapters, and personal media including a short film created with Mountain Hardwear, featuring original music I first imagined while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. The program will run about 65 minutes, including intermission. I’m grateful to share the stage with the friends and collaborators who are bringing this music to life: Dmitri Ascarrunz Javier Avendaño Maria Bustos Liz Chen Joe Cracolici Sarah Curtis Jiayu Duan Abbey Engelmann Carter Fogg Vincent Francis DeShaun Gordon-King Daniel Haakenson Lena Kantz Dasom(Julia) Kim Elvina Liu Mona Majid Ian Riley William Smith Caroline Wolfe Sariah Young I hope to see you there, and either way, THANK YOU to everyone that has been so supportive during my time as a student at Longy and musician-at-wide in Boston!
