BEYOND RITUALS

for Symphony Orchestra

Duration: 11:30 minutes

Music and dance, in their deepest essence, act as bridges that unite humanity in a common celebration of existence. My purpose in creating a work that speaks about the union of humanity through dance and music has led me to reflect on the practices of native peoples, where music and dance emerged as primordial forms of connection with nature and the divine.
