Program Note
RUM DIARY honors the legacy of Hunter S. Thompson, capturing the essence of his brash and unapologetic writing style. As a fellow Kentuckian and Southern gentleman, the composer feels a strong connection to Thompson's pursuit of truth and his willingness to live life to the fullest. The music pushes the limits of musical expression and challenges the performers, embodying Thompson's fearlessness. The title, borrowed from Thompson's first novel, is fitting for this musical tribute to his life's work.
