Program Note
A restless wind stirs, whispering through the trees with an eerie, knowing touch. What begins as a gentle breeze soon twists into something more insidious, snaking through cracks, toppling the unsteady, and carrying unseen threats in its wake. It howls through the night, relentless and unseen, shifting direction without warning, as if it has a will of its own. By the time the air is still again, the damage is done—silent, irreversible, and lingering.
