On May 21, 2022 the Portland Youth Philharmonic performed Reunion at Bauman Auditorium in Newberg OR. A video recording will be available soon.
Composed to celebrate our return to social life post-Covid, the music begins at, and emerges from our experiences during lockdown, including the isolation and self reflection that was a major part of our world at that time For musicians, one of the biggest impacts of the pandemic was not being able to play together. Without being able to play together, there was no need to tune instruments to one another, and that is where the piece begins.
