Inspired by her son’s enthusiastic backyard botany, Amanda Harberg’s LUCAS’S GARDEN weaves a varied tapestry of moods and textures across its three movements. Backyard Paradise is tuneful and searching, while Moonlit flows effortlessly from nocturne to dreamlike dancing. Wild Roses bristles with a tireless energy, passing sinewy melismatic lines through the ensemble in unpredictable, enlivening rhythms.
