Event
Information

Mothers are foundational to the human experience: a figure in the lives of every person – whether one associates as positive or negative, joyful or complex feelings with their own mother. In this collaborative initiative with filmmaker Carlin Ma, these challenging and inspirational stories are captured as a documentary style film, interspersed with music by various composers that all wrote music inspired by this ubiquitous theme.
