“One of the greatest joys of being a composer is writing for friends, and I feel especially fortunate that my closest friends are extraordinary musicians whose artistry I deeply admire. Among them is pianist Chelsea de Souza, my best friend for many years, with whom I have shared countless projects and an ever-growing musical bond. When we began imagining this piece together, it felt natural to create something that would capture the essence of our friendship: a journey through music we love and memories we hold dear.

The music traces songs that have shaped our friendship: Earth, Wind & Fire’s September, recalling our first meeting in the fall; the songs of Tom Misch, which became the soundtrack to our drives through Houston; and Boyz II Men’s End of the Road, a karaoke favorite that now carries the bittersweet resonance of leaving Houston and closing one chapter of our lives together.

As we grow older and live farther apart, I find myself beginning conversations with Chelsea with the words, “Do you remember?” Those words are proof of the many memories we’ve made—moments we want to hold close and never forget— and also a hope for all the memories yet to come. And, of course, they happen to open one of the most iconic pop songs ever written: Do you remember…?”

A note from the soloist:

“It’s a dream to have a piano concerto written for you, but even more special to be a part of the process every step of the way - especially with a composer who understands your musical tastes and pianistic voice. This collaboration is a capstone to my friendship to Nicky, and I’m so thrilled to premiere it with the dynamic musicians of Loop38!”
