“The Great Lake Concerto” serves as a powerful ode to water conservation and the city of Chicago. Composed for my former percussion teachers Ed Harrison & Vadim Karpinos, the concerto not only showcases the technical prowess of the percussionists but also resonates with a message about the interconnectedness of communities and their natural surroundings. The concerto explores the symbiotic relationship between humanity and water, drawing inspiration from Lake Michigan, which stretches over 22,406 square miles and serves as a lifeblood for Chicago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the work on this piece was very fast. I had between August and December to write the full 30 minute concerto. I wrote a lot at the piano and then entered in and orchestrated in Dorico<\/a>. I’m working on a behind-the-scenes video, similar to what I did with A Light Divided<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
