My First Symphony traces the journey of the human spirit in search of truth and eternal love. The trials and tribulations fuel doubt and culminate in a struggle to find inner peace as the illusion of happiness crumbles and a sense of direction is lost. Anticipation of a new dawn presses against the limits of despair. The arrival of spring casts away a dreadful winter’s spell, and the inner doubts dissipate. A new pathway opens toward greater acceptance, solace, and gratitude. The shackles of hopelessness are released as the spirit is reborn and rises like the Phoenix from ashes.
