Reverie in Carmel
Solo Piano

Centennial Commission
About
There is a magical place along the central California coast called Carmel, where my wife and I spent our honeymoon in 2024. One afternoon, we went for a bike ride and paused at Carmel Beach to walk along the sand as the sun was setting. Reverie in Carmel is a reflection of that moment, and it is fondly dedicated to Kyuyeon Kim and Kyung-Sook Lee.
