Secret Songs concert
second weekend of the Cabrillo Festival
“Receiving its U.S. premiere is Earworms, a whimsical work by JUNO Award-winning composer Vivian Fung. Fung explains, Earworms “provides a commentary on the world we live in today – it musically depicts our diverted attention spans, our constant barrage of music and other media, and our multi-tasking lives. Since having my son almost three years ago, I have found my life to be more complicated and chaotic, but also all the richer and more meaningful. I find myself at the end of the day humming tunes that have gotten into my head and that I cannot seem to escape no matter how hard I try. Earworms features snippets of some of the best, most insistent, and most annoying of these tunes and combines them into a playful and quirky arrangement.”
