This sensitive and heartfelt new work for solo vibraphone is the latest in a series of solo percussion collaborations between Ferry and Mellits. Written in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, "Parkland" is Marc's musical response as a parent to loss, comfort, and resilience.
