Is a indie-jazz trio founded as an exploration of new artistic depth in creating original music. The concept for this group developed as I began to see that we too often take what other people are doing and saying as truth instead of reaching inside ourselves to find our own truth and our own voices. We are constantly told that things are supposed to be a certain way, that we have to abide by certain rules and live by preconceived notions. Everything seems to get put into boxes, labeled, then set aside… This never made any sense to me…especially when it comes to music.

The concerto comprises two movements, each of which is divided up into clerarly distinct sections. Broström uses a large array of percussion instruments placed in three separate stations, and it is when the soloist moves from one station to the other that the image is evoked of the arena that has lent the work its name. In that each station possesses its own arrangement of instruments, the different sections of the concerto have their own unique sound.

As the composer, Richard Danielpour was writing this work, he had in mind that we all have the power within ourselves to heal. Sometimes we use this to help others and sometimes it is brought into fruition as a way to overcome obstacles in our own lives. The segmented movements of the new percussion concerto are based on different guises and faces that the Wounded Healer might show up in ourselves and others.
Composer, Richard Danielpour composed this chamber orchestra work in remembrance of all those affected by the global pandemic that began in 2020. This 14-16 minute work can be programmed for a small or large chamber orchestra and is a beautiful opener for any masterworks or chamber music program.
