DESCRIPTION
Venice Rising is a symphonic journey that traces an arc of inner transformation—beginning in stillness, moving through moments of tension and struggle, and lifting into clarity and light. Though inspired by the idea of Venice, the music reaches beyond any single place. It explores the feeling of stepping into the unknown, facing what's difficult, and finding your way through. Originally composed in 2024 as a chamber piece titled Opus 1: Odyssey for my youth orchestra, the piece was later expanded and re-orchestrated for full symphony. As it grew, so did its story. I was invited to bring the work to the Veneto Arts and Music Summit in 2025 with the opportunity for a performance in Venice. While I haven’t yet walked the city’s canals, the idea of that journey—both musical and personal—began to shape the piece in new ways. The result is Venice Rising—a reimagined version of the original, colored by the anticipation of a place I’ve long dreamed of, and by the excitement of sharing this music there for the very first time.
