From Wilderness

A new concert-length work about the transformative exploration of the Pacific Crest Trail through the healing properties of the seven chakras. This work will feature the artistry of Choral Arts Initiative accompanied by piano, cello, and crystal singing bowls. The audience will experience a wash of sounds that allow for introspective reflection on the text and themselves.

"As I began to create this work, I wanted for the listener to have an experience that can last beyond the final cutoff, as the trail leaves you with something you have learned, something you now have with you forever. From landscapes to soundscapes, this work offers a moment for self discovery and self healing." - Jeffrey Derus, composer
