Program Note

The ground shudders with a deep, foreboding tremor, a warning from the earth itself. Cracks splinter outward as unseen forces awaken beneath the surface, shifting and grinding with unstoppable momentum. In a sudden, violent surge, the world is thrown into motion—structures crumble, dust rises, and the air fills with the raw power of upheaval. And when the shaking finally ceases, nothing is as it was before.
