Dedicated to American violinist Amy Schwartz Moretti, the Violin Concerto is a challenging three-movement virtuosic showpiece. Presented in traditional concerto design, this work employs a flexible tonal system and draws from influences spanning classical and romantic symphonic works, dance music, and contemporary jazz. Each of its three movements, DARK, WARM, and ELECTRIC, speaks of an overarching emotional journey. The entire work is approximately 25 minutes in duration.
