This piece is one of the four that were were selected to be premiered through a granting award funded by the McKnight Foundation in cooperation with the Minnesota Sinfonia. In addition to the 2 performances by this fine professional chamber orchestra, I will be receiving a monetary award. Please consider attending the concert. Admission is free!

Sacred Geometry Program Notes:

This work is inspired by the architecture, visual art and music of late medieval and Renaissance times. Those cultural treasures still awe and edify us. You may hear sounds that hearken to those timeless qualities of proportion, symmetry, harmony and dancing rhythm.  “Abstract geometric architecture is composed of harmonic waves of energy, modes of relationality, melodic forms springing forth from the eternal realm of geometric proportion.”     –   Robert Lawlor   from Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice
