Since their creation nearly 200 years ago, the beautiful woodcut prints of Hokusai have inspired musicians and visual artists across many cultures. The stylized pre-Impressionist elegance of this Japanese art form captured the heart and imagination of post-Impressionist composer Gary Schocker, resulting in a series of musical moments woven together to form a rich yet delicate tapestry. Schocker’s 13 miniatures may be played as a suite, or as individual movements.
