ABOUT THIS WORK
Chasing Light is a sensory experience of light, movement and its merger, music. Whitney George's 4-part, 16 movement work for Pierrot Ensemble is inspired by her second love, photography. In photography light is always one of the principal subjects, highlighting or diminishing the other focal points within the frame. This work aims to depict light as the main subject captured in different environments, each in a separate movement.
Written for members of The Curiosity Cabinet and completed in 2022, the cycle was workshopped at Pinch Recording Studios. Its staged presentation combines chamber music with lighting by Luther Frank.
Part III includes the following movements:
9. Snowdrift
10. Headlights in the Fog
11. Neon Noir
12. Aurora Polaris
