Program Notes

To Evan –
We emerge from isolation into a world both familiar
And alien.
We work tirelessly to keep the demons at bay,
But still the damage is done.
The smoke from the west reaches the east, and makes the south more violent
The north less predictable.
One way out of this reality –
Stay grounded
Be attentive
Connect
And BREATHE
