ABOUT:

Balancing heartfelt introspection with perpetual motion, acclaimed composer Kevin Day's fifth string quartet is purely delightful from start to finish and will resonate with performers and audiences everywhere.

FROM THE COMPOSER:

"The Essence of Being" is a work of two contrasting movements, one that is introspective and reflective, and the other being one that channels energy in motion. It had been about 5 years since I wrote my last string quartet composition, and with this fifth one, I was eager to try some sounds and melodies that I haven't delved into before.

The two contrasting movements represent the two halves of my writing that I have been seeking to grow deeper in the last few years. This work is an exploration of self, as I continue to understand more about what it means to be a composer, and ultimately, what is my place in the world.
