- Description
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider’s fifth full-length LP, the all-orchestral album Forward Into Light, was produced by Silas Brown and recorded by Metropolis Ensemble led by artistic director/conductor Andrew Cyr. It features Forward Into Light, inspired by the American women’s suffrage movement; the string orchestra and harp (Noël Wan) version of Drink the Wild Ayre; Eye of Mnemosyne, a work on memory, innovation, and culture; and Something for the Dark, a meditation on resilience. Snider says: “I chose to create an album of these four works because they share themes of perseverance, alliance, and evolution through dark and light—concepts that have been at the forefront of my mind in recent years."
