In Collaboration with Marissa Jablonski, Executive Director, Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin
This piece, like many you will encounter this evening, is centered around the theme of water. It is a composition that reflects on how water serves as the fundamental source for all our needs in life, while also acknowledging the challenges we face in preserving it. I employed various musical elements to illustrate the diverse ways we utilize water.
