How to get there
First Light opens Belvedere’s Inaugural Festival with an invitation to listen together as darkness gives way to dawn. Max Richter’s On the Nature of Daylight begins in quiet reflection. Beethoven’s exuberant first piano trio lets in a rush of energy, while Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s Pisachi (Reveal) opens another world of sound. At last, Copland’s Appalachian Spring, heard in its original 13-player version, fills the room with possibility. Across centuries and traditions, these works meet in a shared moment of renewal.
