From the presenter, Chamber Music Maryland: Created exclusively for Chamber Music Maryland, this groundbreaking collaboration explores themes of light, unity, and transcendence, culminating in a world premiere that redefines the concert experience.
Wordsmith’s original poetry and performance are woven throughout, adding a fresh narrative voice to works like the evocative Nocturne on Neptune and new music developed in real time.
This concert is more than a performance—it’s a bold reimagining of what classical music can be in 2026.
