Stepping Out
Violin, Piano
Stepping Out is about finding independence and taking responsibility. It’s a scary and exciting journey to step into the unknown and find your own path. From a creative perspective, it leads to questions like: Is this any good? Is this my voice? Will my peers approve? Should I care if they don’t?
Through its untamed energy and unsettled harmonies and melodies, this music reflects the mix of emotions that arise when facing a world full of possibilities.
