Still thinking about Northern Lights. 🌌
As San Francisco Classical Voice wrote, Pärt’s Tabula Rasa is “one of those works that suspends time for its audience” brought to life by Jennifer Cho and Sam Weiser in a performance of stunning clarity and intensity.
From Silvestrov’s quiet restraint to Sibelius’s sweeping finale, it was a weekend of music shaped by resilience, and a room that truly listened.
Thank you for being part of it. 💛
