The year 2020 will be indelibly etched in our memories. The impact of COVID-19 has fundamentally altered our perspective on societal norms and underscored the importance of individual care and concern for our community. The year was marked by negativity and a draining energy that stifled creativity for many, including myself.
"A Silver Lining" represents my effort to usher in 2021 with a positive outlook. This piece is imbued with uplifting energy, embodying a burst of positivity akin to a silver lining that signals the conclusion of a dark and somber period.
It was recognized as the 3rd-5th place entry in the "Call for Scores" competition by the European Film Music Academy.
