“For as long as I can remember, music has been how I make sense of the world. It’s been my way of praying, teaching, celebrating, and giving thanks. Now, as I look back on more than five decades of composing and conducting, I’m excited to finally share this work in my own way, with the same sense of purpose that’s guided me from the beginning.”
