Program Notes:

Imagine finding an old photo box up in the dusty attic, each photo telling of a story frozen in time. Suddenly, the images start moving, coming to life, and they send you into daydreams, flashbacks, and recollections. With twenty miniatures, each restricted to only a few minutes, I have tried to portray a story, a drama, condensed with visual details that may sometimes resemble a short movie. Some of these portraits are based on actual experiences of mine, while others are completely imaginary.

​

“The Old Photo Box” was generously commissioned in memory of Adele and John Gray.
