I am so honored to be able to collaborate with visual artist, Camilla Tassi, on another project! This new work will include a blend of archival research with storytelling, using materials from U.S. Supreme Court cases, political campaigns, and peaceful protests. The goal is to renew the audience’s interest and appreciation for democracy and democratic values, which will hopefully lead to greater engagement with democracy on a local, regional, state, and national level.

Thank you to the Curtis Institute of Music and The Purple Project for Democracy for making this commission possible.
