Shield the Fading Light

Program Notes

"Dawn’s reflection, the thread that binds the opportunity of solace. Beneath the abandoned horizon, vanished is the bygone past.  Determined, we hold the pillar of chance to bring about change, for thriving hope in the face of peril.  The dusk falls to remind of what was once foretold, but by the dawn, may the fading light of the shattered moon be shielded evermore."
