Massachusetts Commissioned Composer David Ibbett will be performing and premiering his composition for piano entitled Heart of the Galaxy at the 1:00 session at Quad State in Saco, Maine. This rhapsodic piece imagines a point in space where one can marvel at the total beauty of a black hole galaxy: a cosmic landscape brimming with complex, radiant features.
David has also created a student version of this piece which he will perform at the 1:00 session. A hard copy will be available for attendees at the Quad State conference. Members will also be able to access this online after the conference through a link on our website.
