Show Description
Presented by Apollo Chamber Players
A Hobby Center Arts Partner Performance
How do we find calm?
Bold Serenity opens with a cross-cultural musical dialogue between composer and author Anthony Brandt and Indian Carnatic musician Chitravina Ravikiran, the “Mozart of Indian Classical Music.”
Centered around two interwoven commissions — Resting States (Brandt) and Illusion to Resolution (Ravikiran) — the program explores the challenges of contemporary life and the modern mind’s search for calm amid overstimulation and distraction.
Together, these works trace a journey from darkness to light, confusion to clarity, and anxiety to tranquility, creating a compelling conversation between neuroscience and spirituality and Western contemporary music and Eastern Carnatic tradition.
