Letters to My Daughters

Can we experience wonder and optimism in the face of fear and uncertainty? How might we find courage in the face of failure, injustice, or threat of harm? How do we foster and preserve reservoirs of goodness and decency in ourselves and each other? How do we tell people that we love them?

 

When Scott Ordway sought to explain a frightening and uncertain world to his young daughters, he sat down to write them five real letters. These became Letters to My Daughters, an immersive five-movement work for cello and piano. inviting us all to consider how we find light in the darkness.
