We bemoan, we dream, we fantasize…

Restless Natures is an ode to how composers perceive the world and the fuzzy ways we preserve these perceptions. Sometimes we contemplate a beautiful subject, as Lili Boulanger passes her eye over a garden in several ways in Trois Morceaux, or Yoshimatsu's memory of a star in ...to a disappeared pleiad. Sometimes music itself becomes the subject: we relive ghosts of hands past in Ge's To a Memory of a Little Grasshopper and Andres's How Can I Live in Your World of Ideas? Muhly's Move shows that even the most intimate conversations between musicians can become a font of inspiration in the way we remember the world. Two world premieres from Peabody colleagues Parks and Shin suspend distance, technologies, and time. - Jonathan Shin (Singapore)"

w/ JACK Quartet

MoM 2 // Nathaniel Parks but sometimes i worry // Kareem Roustom Hushed (U.S. premiere)

Voices in our heads; Words of St. Augustine adjacent/aligned with Ross Sutherland; Dialoguing over centuries, asking... How often is saying “I love you” too often? Circles of memory, sensory, experiential thoughts calmed. “So that life might be forever like that one moment of understanding.”

Hushed the images of earth, and waters, and air, hushed also the poles of heaven, yea the very soul be hushed to herself.
