Huang Ruo – A Dust in Time: Passacaglia for Strings (US premiere)
No matter who you are and where you are, we are all affected by this apparently endless pandemic. Most of us have experienced moments during this global crisis where time and space seem to be slowed or frozen. For some of us, memories, feelings, and lives are forever trapped in that slowly frozen time and space. This ongoing crisis has affected our current lives and maybe even our lives in the future. This special piece is created for the people affected by the pandemic, giving them a piece of music to reflect, to express, to heal, to find internal peace, strength, and hope.
A Dust in Time: Passacaglia for Strings runs 60 minutes, timed to symbolize the cycle and circle of the hour, and is to be performed without a break. Its structure is like a Tibetan sand mandala, created live slowly from the central essence point expanding outward into its colored fullness, and then to be subtracted from it inwards back to the central essence point, fulfilling the spiritual and life cycle and journey of traveling from nothing (emptiness) to something (fullness), and then back to nothing (emptiness).
The livestream will take place at 6pm Pacific. Broadcasting live from Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA.
