Remembrance of Things Past
We are shaped by what we leave, and by what remains with us.
This recital is a musical journey through the many departures in life that shape who we are, and the memories, echoes, and fragments of the past that we carry with us along the way. It explores the bittersweet beauty of farewells, the traces left by those we have loved and lost, and the quiet, fleeting moments that leave an enduring mark on our lives.
