Debbie Center

Living in Northern Minnesota, composer Debbie Center feels such conflicted emotions in October. October Mourn conveys the sense of awe when looking at breathtakingly beautiful autumn leaves, while mourning the passage of summer, saying goodbye to human and feathered snowbird friends, bracing for another long and harsh winter, and watching many local businesses close for the season. Playing this piece is cathartic for Debbie, and she hopes it will be for you, too.
