FireWorks: Piano recital

I performed a solo piano recital on April 23, 2024 featuring fire-inspired piano pieces by historic and living composers. This program explored the music and ecology of fire, including the importance of fire as an ecosystem process and how we as societies respond to and grieve the impacts of extreme wildfires. The full program included pieces such as: 

• "The Firebird Suite" (1910) by Igor Stravinsky

• "The Fire Sermon" (1970) by Einojuhani Rautavaara

• "Fire Dances" (2021) by eight Australian women composers

This recital was joint-sponsored by the University of Montana School of Music and the University of Montana Wilderness Institute.
