This recital features solo violin music performed inside prisons, paired with reflections from incarcerated listeners. Audience members will see excerpts from the surveys prisoners complete after hearing the music, offering a rare glimpse into how they listen and what the violin evokes for them. The result is a recital shaped by perspective, attention, and the power of music to resonate across very different lives.
