Letters to My Daughters
featuring
JOSH HALPERN, cello
YANNICK RAFALIMANANA, piano
Like so many, composer Scott Ordway was reckoning with the uncertainty of the world—in particular, how to discuss it with his two daughters, four and seven at the time. He began by writing five real letters, and the collaboration that grew from them took shape as a love letter, time capsule, and urgent appeal to decency for his girls. Ahead of its studio recording, Josh Halpern brings this special commission and program back to the Caravan stage where it premiered, this time with pianist Yannick Rafalimanana.

The music that grew from them—alongside Debussy, Bernstein, and songs smuggled out of Theresienstadt—returns to the stage where it debuted, before it becomes a studio album.
