Over the moon about my premiere this evening with @roomfulofteeth at @massmoca! I’m so grateful that they took so much care and were incredibly respectful of the work and curious to engage with the text and sounds. This is the first piece that I’ve written in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, and it meant a lot to be able to take those risks and try things out. Thank you Brad & @ronadhcox for your vision making this happen! Special thanks to @cindysleishoppe for getting 16 (!) gorgeous lei here all the way from Hawaiʻi! #maipaaikaleo #aaikaolelo #newmusic #contemporarymusic #indigenouslanguages
