A Dance on Shattered Glass

"A Dance on Shattered Glass" explores the playful virtuosity of the small ensemble through an electrifying and highly characteristic piece. Playing with the dichotomy between consonance and dissonance, this piece manifests itself in the switching between and open, uneasy, deconstructed feel, and an agitated tango. As it progresses, the work not only explores the battle between harmony and dissonance, but further becomes a representation of the fight between grace and frustration.
