“I believe life is a dance we have been born into. In Tango Melancólico for Violin and Piano, a man and a woman search for each other, they search for the embrace and one leads the other in dialogue and disagreement. It is a beautiful fight, intensely passionate, and one that acts as nourishment for all the senses.”
~ Composer Serouj Kradjian

"As a society we are addicted to things (like smart phones) as well as substances and even people. When these elements are removed, we experience sadness, anger and fear that actually affects our ability to sustain ourselves."
~ Composer Kelly-Marie Murphy
