I wrote this piece as a part of my life-long journey integrating the many aspects of my life which sometimes feel at odds with each other. As an independent woman, an artist and intellectual, caught between two cultures, who grew up with a very mixed background all over the US, one of the hardest things in my life has been taking those often contrasting experiences and trying to make sense of them all. This piece is a sonic illustration of that struggle, and primarily draws from my background and love for folk and classical music, and especially the Chinese folk-style music that I grew up listening to from children's song tapes to movie musicals.
I look forward to sharing this piece with Echo Chamber Orchestra through the Glenview Classical Series, two communities that have been dear to me. Echo Chamber Orchestra aims to showcase local composers and classical music that has not made it to mainstream audiences, as well as honor beloved traditional repertoire. Similarly, the Glenview Classical Series highlights local artists and musicians who often specialize in classical niches, while also giving homage to the greats whose music has lasted through the ages.
