Mosquito Stars
July 2021 (for flute, horn, and piano)
A friend once told me, “I wish mosquitos disappeared from Earth; they benefit no one.”
The annoyingly energetic mosquitos are given a second purpose in this piece, transforming into beautiful stars as they float upwards to decorate the sky.
Ensemble Winner of the National Young Composers Challenge 2021; performed by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra members @ Steinmetz Hall in April 2022.
