Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve always dreamed of writing for symphony orchestra. There is something very enchanting about this large ensemble: the combined energies of so many musicians on stage provide an experience that is truly unique to the listener. Throughout my life I have attended countless orchestral concerts, witnessing this magic over and over again. It seems hard to believe that the time has finally come to hear my own musical imagination coming to life in a performance by a symphony orchestra; hence I named my piece Elefsis―the Greek word used to describe the arrival of something very special.
This piece is dedicated both to my family, for their unfailing support, and to my teacher Dr. J. Mark Stambaugh, without whom this dream would have never materialized.
