From Wilderness Volume Two: From Inspiration to Inception

“The grander wash or phrase that I want this to be is that, you're attempting this trail. You're attempting this journey because you want to find something: either physically, mentally, emotionally, for yourself. And so, that's going to be kind of the inception of the whole work. It's wherever you are in your life.” - Jeffrey Derus, From Wilderness composer

The second of our From Wilderness video series, Volume Two: From Inspiration to Inception, follows an in-depth conversation between composer Jeffrey Derus and Artistic Director Brandon Elliott on the process, story, and personal connection of From Wilderness, the first concert-length work centered on the PCT, featuring cello and crystal singing bowls. We're also looking forward to bringing this beautiful piece to your music library as a studio-recorded album!

Stay tuned for volume three--where we take you behind the scenes of the rehearsal process with our Choral Artists.
