Tragedia (2002)
for orchestra
An orchestral work composed as a response to the tragedies of 9/11, “Tragedia” explores the grieving, anxiety, and the need for healing after enduring such a tragedy. The emotions expressed are perhaps a bit dark, but not without a note of hope. It was premiered in the Autumn of 2002.
