I. Extrovert

II. Introvert

Duration: ca. 9’ (Extrovert: ca. 4.5’; Introvert ca. 5’)

Program Note: I find personality tests quite fascinating, but often find that I never seem to fit neatly into any of the preconceived 'boxes.' Even the question, "Are you an extrovert or an introvert?" has always felt difficult for me to answer. With Ambivert, I explore the joys and challenges of extroversion and introversion.

Performance Note: Each movement of "Ambivert" may be performed as a stand-alone work. In that case, the movement title should be listed as the title of the work in the performance program.
