Program Notes:

Between Two Coasts for string orchestra describes the thoughts, struggles and inner-debates that run through the mind and hearts of people who have immigrated to a new land, experiencing prosperity and fulfilling their dream – a dream that could not be achieved fully back in their homeland. But still, in spite all of this, the heart of the people is partly left back there, in their homeland, where the views, the sounds, the smells and the small talks still bring memories of a pleasant childhood. Between Two Coasts was commissioned by Ariel Zuckermann and Das Georgische Kammerorchester and dedicated to them.
