Heart of the Galaxy Theme to be premiered at Quad State in Saco Maine

Massachusetts Commissioned Composer David Ibbett will be performing and premiering his composition for piano entitled Heart of the Galaxy at the 1:00 session at Quad State in Saco, Maine.  This rhapsodic piece imagines a point in space where one can marvel at the total beauty of a black hole galaxy: a cosmic landscape brimming with complex, radiant features. 

David has also created a student version of this piece which he will perform at the 1:00 session.  A hard copy will be available for attendees at the Quad State conference.  Members will also be able to access this online after the conference through a link on our website.
