LIGHT UP THE NIGHT for Symphony Orchestra 


Written originally for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra as part of the Audience of the Future program, this lively and energetic concert opener depicts a modern metropolitan skyline. The work shifts dramatically in character and style midway depicting the skyline as seen at night, illuminated by city lights a midst the dark canvas of the night sky.

The form is a nod to the rondo, with a repeating strain occurring 3 times in the piece with contrasting interior sections.
