Commissioned in 2025 by Alec Eads and premiered by the same in 2026, this new work for alto trombone and piano explores colors and tonalities rarely heard on the alto. The title of this solo represents the ever-present tension between the chaos of our current moment in history with climate change and political and economic instability juxtaposed against the need to present oneself as unaffected and sane in public spaces.
