Lviv National Philharmonic - BRIDGE TO PEACE: Invocation

In this piece, Kim sets the phrase “Make Peace on All Your Lands” in 15 different world languages – all spoken by people who live in her amazingly diverse neighborhood of Washington Heights. As the Allison Charney says, “What I want to stress is that in order to set these phrases just right, Kim had to do a heck of a lot of listening. And listening – a skill often paradoxically overlooked in a musical education – is something at which Kim is a genius.
She hears the beauty on the streets of her neighborhood, in the breathtaking expanse of this vast country, in the poetry of texts from all the world’s great religions – and somehow translates those often ordinary sounds into the most extraordinary music. What’s even more astounding is her ability to listen – really listen – to the musicians she graces with her compositions”.

At the Philharmonic, “Bridge To Peace: Invocation” was performed in April 2024 in the “Through the Darkness” program.
