In December, Ensemble QuON will perform the complete movements of "Sylvan of Forest." While typically only the third movement, "Sylvan of Tree," is performed, this time "Sylvan of Water" and "Sylvan of Fire" will also be played—a rare treat. I look forward to experiencing the magnificent drama of life set in the forest across the entire work.
