Program Note
Inspired by the infectious joy of klezmer music, Unleashed invites listeners to shake off their worries and embrace happiness. The piece opens with a lively, dance-like section full of klezmer energy. A contrasting middle section introduces tension, reflecting the heavy weight of everyday concerns. But in the end, joy prevails — the opening spirit returns with renewed vigor, encouraging the audience to let go and simply be happy.
