ABOUT

This concert explores the theme of time and its impact on our concept of home. Through the passage of time, we witness how homes transform in the face of war, climate change, imagined realms, and cherished moments. The program also highlights the lineage of composers, tracing the relationships between teachers, students, and the enduring influence they have on one another.
