threshold of our fragile body

for cimbalom and singing violinist

2023

to be at a threshold is to be at a place of both endings and beginnings, to be in a liminal space, to be in between. to be fragile is to be easily broken, vulnerable, delicate.

threshold of our fragile body is a piece about breaking—breaking down, breaking apart, breaking through. it is about the fragility of connection and the precarious contingencies of relationships and the ways we intertwine with those we commune with — the fragility of these threads as well as the fragility of our own identities.

comissioned and premiered by Lamnth

premiere: November 29, 2023 at Boston University’s Suelly Hall
