Program Notes:
Walking through Lake View Cemetery on a January morning in 2021 revealed a thick fog with the sun shining through, creating a magical atmosphere. The trees seemed like giants arriving through the mist - figures from a past, distant land. The dew glistened brightly on the grass as the branches of a great tree seemed to be reaching out.
Where do things end, and where do they begin?
