Program Note
Mostly Cloudy is a deeply personal and introspective work, composed for two violins in the form of a duet. This composition unfolds over four short movements, each encapsulating a vivid yet melancholic dialogue between the two instruments. The piece was conceived during a period of uncertainty and gloom following the events of October 7th, 2023.
In the wake of this turmoil, I found myself in London, a city cloaked in persistent drizzle and overcast skies, accompanied by my family as we chose not to return to our home until stability was restored. The atmosphere of London during this time profoundly influenced the character and emotional landscape of the composition.
