PROGRAM NOTES Everyone goes through periods of change in their lives. These can be character growth, figuring out what career you want to pursue, finding your people, or learning how to love yourself just as you are. Aurora is a sonic representation of these kinds of change. From the swells to the dissonance, each section represents a period of change in my own life, ultimately emerging as a better version of myself.
