The Great Boil Escape is:
- a loose abstract narrative about a craw sh who attempts to change its fate of being eaten as a part of a New Orleans backyard boil.
- a continuation of my journey to compose works that give performers agency to showcase their artistry and personality within a clear framework of my creative voice.
The Great Boil Escape was commissioned by and written for Quartetto Obrigado for the inaugural Batture Contemporary new music festival. Its creation was in part thanks to a residency at the Sitka Center for Ecology and Arts faciliated by Licity Collins and the SynchroLicity Collective.
