- Description |
The presence of nature emanates from the shrouded ancient forests and lush, delicate undergrowth along the wild Pacific Ocean. Pacifica weaves together the miniature with the magnificent in the coastal Pacific Northwest. It is set during the atmospheric winter months, when a soft light cloaks the misty forests and time stands still. The piece is a mesmerizing combination of music and imagery, surrounding the senses with beauty.
