Program Note: Compelling encounters with the natural world can leave us feeling small and insignificant in the best possible ways. They seize our hearts’ full attention through displays of raw power and beauty while subtly reminding us of how very little we can control in this life.

As you listen, I invite you to remember a time when you experienced unparalleled, captivating beauty.
