PROGRAM NOTES:"There is nothing in the world so powerful as an idea, whose time has come." Victor Hugo - French writer (1802-1885)
Motivation is the invisible force that drives us forward. It helps us to set new goals and to realize our dreams and desires. When we are motivated, our energy is channeled in the right direction and we are able to make better use of our time. However, in those moments when our motivation is weakened, we begin to doubt ourselves and our goals. We question our abilities, lose faith and need to find that lost motivation again.
„Humanity" was commissioned by my esteemed colleague and friend Armin Schuler, musical director of the Musikbahnhof Gädheim e.V. in Germany.
