about

29 Akheron

Akheron was composed for JACK Quartet in 2013 and premiered by them in that year. The name comes from the god who ruled the underworld river and lake of pain. It was considered by the Greeks to be a place of healing, not punishment, for cleansing and purging. The work was composed as an elegy to persons both close to me personally but also remote yet whose lives and deaths affected me deeply.
