Nina Shekhar's Lumina | Minnesota Orchestra | Osmo Vänskä

This work was originally performed as part of the Minnesota Orchestra Composer Institute MusicMakers Concert May 6, 2022. Lumina explores the spectrum of light and dark and the murkiness in between. Using swift contrasts between bright, sharp timbres and cloudy textures and dense harmonies, the piece captures sudden bursts of radiance amongst the eeriness of shadows.
