Program notes
Spatial wind-quintet work built around historical/etymological meanings of “sund” and the narrative of crossing from one shore to another. Performers move symmetrically across the stage; a central stand marks a fragile crossing point with brief solos. The work reflects on the Mediterranean migration crisis.
