PROGRAM NOTES
A Catastrophic Portrait captures a vibrant sense of chaos. While the piece is short, several contrasting sections are scattered throughout, keeping the listener uncertain as to what will happen next. Each section establishes a distinct atmosphere and showcases various instruments in both solo and tutti passages. Everything builds together toward a powerful final section, full of energy and virtuosity.
