This concert stands at the meeting point of intensity and illumination. Throughout this season we have explored what shadows reveal. In Shadowfire, we encounter the flame itself. Not destruction, but refinement. Not darkness, but the light that presses through it.
At the center of the evening is California by David Maslanka. Maslanka’s music breathes with profound humanity. Sweeping lines rise from introspection into radiant affirmation, carrying both weight and transcendence. It feels vast and deeply personal at once, music that remembers and reaches forward with courage.
The program also features Second Nature by Viet Cuong, performed by the award winning Meliorem Saxophone Quartet of the Keys Conservatory at Pinecrest Academy Sloan Canyon. Cuong’s writing pulses with rhythmic vitality and brilliant color. The quartet’s disciplined precision and unified artistry bring a fierce clarity to the stage, embodying the strength that emerges when shadow gives way to fire.
These works serve as the highlights of an evening that unfolds with depth, contrast, and unmistakable intensity.
Shadowfire is an experience of combustion and renewal. It is the sound of resilience. It is light forged in shadow.
