Composer Nan Avant joins conductor Devin Patrick Hughes to share how she transforms the beauty and power of nature into orchestral sound. From the winds of Lahaina and the tides of the sea to the birth of distant nebulas, Avant reveals how her Peruvian heritage, classical training, and cinematic imagination shape her work. Featuring music from Aloha ‘Oe, Bijoux (The Nebulae), Lahaina – Rhapsody for Violin and Orchestra, and more, this conversation offers a rare look into the mind and heart of a modern composer.
