Gold Coast Harmony

As a guest composer of the Brisbane (Australia) Conservatory and the Brisbane Philharmonic, Ewazen was captivated by the churning waves and the sheer grandeur of the Gold Coast landscape, writing bold music filled with lifting and cascading arpeggios for the pair of horns. Gold Coast Harmony is dedicated to hornists Lisa Bontrager and Michelle Stebleton, and pianist Tomoko Kanamaru, who premiered the work at the 2005 convention of the International Horn Society. The work is recorded by these artists on the CD Mirror Image at the Opera - Duets and Songs, available on MSR Classics.
