“In times of crisis and peril, we have but the reliance of faith - from the profound faith in humanity, faith in love, and faith that we will persevere and get through this with dignity” -Composer Vivian Fung
On Composer’s Studio this week:
JUNO Award-winning Canadian composer Vivian Fung’s new work, Prayer, was composed with a young child at home 24/7, a bronchial infection, and a very tight timeline to complete the piece in a manner feasible for COVID remote performance requirements. Known for the theoretical complexity and virtuosity required to play her compositions, Vivian has taken a different approach to this piece, bearing her heart completely with a directness that allows the listener to transcend our current moment, if only for a few minutes.
