Program Note
ARGO is, at its core, a reflection on loss and separation filtered through the lens of Caroline Preziosi’s poem of the same name. The text speaks to the loss of something or someone and the reader’s inability to turn back to that thing or to hold on too tightly to its memory. Similarly, the music of ARGO seeks to capture the ever fragmenting, reunifying, and slipping away of a memory as time passes.
