The program of Negative Space highlights music that explores space, absence, and the power of what’s left unsaid. Hannah Kendall’s Vera builds and unbuilds a musical structure using a twelve-tone row, creating a sense of shifting texture and hidden emotion. Ravel’s Piano Trio showcases his signature clarity and color, carefully balancing sound and silence to shape each moment. Michi Wiancko’s Fantasia for Tomorrow offers a heartfelt tribute to connection and hope, imagining a future that is just out of reach but deeply felt in the present.
