Salina Fisher's Kintsugi was inspired by the Japanese tradition of mending broken pottery with golden seams of lacquer - a fine metaphor for "embracing 'brokenness' and imperfection." American composer Adam Schoenberg was inspired by both the climate catastrophe threatening our natural world and the ancient use of percussion in storytelling. From this, his percussion concerto Losing Earth was born. We welcome its dedicatee, San Francisco Symphony's Principal Percussionist, Jacob Nissly, as the work's brilliant soloist.
