REUNION AT ZION

Initially composed for string quartet, this arrangement is a personal response to the attacks in Europe over the last couple of months. 
It reflects the different understandings of tolerance on our planet, and that tolerance itself can be seen as a luxury for some. 
All in all, it is dedicated to the victims as well as their friends and families. 

Recorded live with the Brand New Orchestra conducted by Matt Weites at the Royal Northern College of Music.
