Program Notes:
The Encounter begins with a commanding but cold presence. The somber mood takes on different forms throughout the piece, even revealing some sinister undertones. As the piece draws to an end, there is a slight change in colour. The confidence from the beginning however, always remains intact.
(Michelle Pegus)
