CLARA KIM, violin
Saturday, August 9, 2025
Performance beings at 6 p.m.
Program description:
“People and Places” presents the works of six composers, each inspired by a location that shaped their creation. From the trilling insects in the Thai countryside to the soulful landscapes of Iran and the serene shores of Hawaii, this program honors the deeply personal connection between place and music. These compositions are woven from threads of heartache, longing, and wonder, and are expressions of the intersection between geography and experience.
