Program Notes
All That Matters draws inspiration from the simplicity and warmth of campfire sing-alongs and the catchy essence of pop music. Though brief, the piece aims to evoke a sense of familiarity and communal joy, much like a favourite pop tune that lingers in your mind. In moments when the world feels overwhelming, gathering together in song reminds us that, sometimes, all that matters is the shared melody and connection.
