- Program Notes
- During a recent vacation to Norway, I was struck with the marvel of modern transportation. With airplanes and ships, humans have created ways to exchange culture with other humans all over the world. I thought about how these exchanges bring with them both the meaningful connection of existing in spaces together and sharing culture but also the alienation and isolation of language barriers, cultural differences, and conflicting global interests. As a person interacting with people of backgrounds and experiences different than mine, I have a kind of responsibility to be aware of both the joys and pitfalls of cultural exchange. The piece is dedicated to my wife, Madison Pfeiffer. Without her, I would never have had the courage to get on a plane and explore the world.
