I was invited to Vermont as one of the 3 young composers of the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival. From Aug. 16-26th, we got to experience world class musicians’ performances, informative talks and masterclases, and a recording session of our own compositions produced by Grammy Award winner Alan Bise.

And what truly makes this festival special is the immense amount of 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 (between performers, the music and the audience members), 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲 (born from the safe space and time the schedule provides), and 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 (thanks to the incredibly generous supporters).

Thank you to Jusun Kim, Hannah Chaewon-Kim, Misha Amory, Nagyeom Jang, and Gloria Chien for bringing my piece “𝕆𝕦𝕥 𝕠𝕗 𝕎𝕠𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕕” to life, and to Alan for the awesome recording! And much love to composers David Serkin Ludwig, Alistair Coleman, Jonah Cohen, and Delfin Demiray, and to our gracious host, Barbara.
