Program Notes:

Watras: Schumann Resonances
by Michael Jinsoo Lim

She searches...
Looking inside the boxes That she loves.

She reaches... Resonating electricity
In a long-awaited breath.

She (se)arches...
In time,
Lightning, glowing, radiating...

She (re)aches...
“Will you put on the Schumann and Stay with me?”

Many thanks to the extraordinary pianists Winston Choi and Cristina Valdés for their
friendship and support.
