Program Note
Open Letters has two meanings. It can refer to the act of opening a letter that I wrote specifically for the performers. Alternatively, it can also be an "open letter," which is meant to be read by a broader audience. Such letters are usually published in newspapers or other media outlets. In this musical piece, I am presenting my four letters, or movements, to the listeners.
