From the Other Sky

“Experiencing human compassion for the first time, a Zodiac Goddess loses her place in the heavens to share her music power with mankind.” – Wang Jie, composer

The American Composers Orchestra premiered From the Other Sky, a narrative song cycle at Zankel Hall, Carnegie Hall, October 15, 2010.  I had the pleasure of designing and creating headpieces to give character to a very talented group of performers.  I was even able to make a monkey out of the composer!
