My hands individually and together played with the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra as we heard the world premiere of Shahov's Piano Concerto No. 2. Conductor, Cristian Macelaru guided the brilliant orchestra and solo pianist Simon Trpceski through integrations of piano and marimbas. I was in the moment stunned as one of my hands played the piano and the other the wind section, strings or the percussions. This well balanced and dynamic conglomeration of diverse sounds and textures is an intimacy, it is what it means to be human and it gives me great hope.
