Infernal Ritual—Dakota Pederson. Dark
intensity and dramatic pacing shape this
concert work designed as a powerful closer

slow opening in 7/4 creates tension before
the time signature changes to 4/4 and

Kyiv, 2022 (A Sequel to Moscow, 1941)—
Brian Balmages. Written as a powerful

culture, this piece can easily be performed
alongside Moscow, 1941 or in place of it.
