Inspired by Isaiah Zagar, award-winning mosaic mural artist of Magic Gardens in Philadelphia, my thanks are given with this composition for Zagar’s montage of humankind’s mutual celebration of life, creativity, human experiences of justice, love, joy, emotional health, knowledge, and beauty; and for insights into the nature of expression and of being. Music's eternal quality is its capacity for change, transformation and renewal. I am honored and thrilled to have received to a Musical Fund Society McCollin Commission and send my gratitude to the Fund and to the Rolston String Quartet for their commitments to music’s renewals. Movement #1 is in celebration of Naava and Sanford Grossman. Movement #2 is in celebration of Jeanne Guillemin.
A PDF Version of this score is available upon request.

Reviews:
"We were treated to “Celebration” from Magic Gardens, a suite by Augusta Read Thomas. What struck me is how much it felt like a fanfare, with bright and loud sections followed by quieter contrapuntal passages that Terra Quartet played with precision. They shone bright on this piece." Louis Harris, Third Coast Review
