Program Notes

I was one of the many people who was affected by the coronavirus in early 2022. Luckily, my symptoms were only relatively mild, but my sleep would be filled with intense dreams every night that made no sense whatsoever. Fever Dream is my musical portrayal of the simultaneously vivid and blurry images that my dreams were made up of during my time sleeping in quarantine. Fever Dream is written for ten to eleven intermediate percussionists and is an excellent piece to either open or close a concert.
