Looking to the Future (1995)
(for Solo Piano)

Looking to the Future was written in 1995 as a theme song for the MTC production of Aftershocks, a play written to document the stories of the 1989 Newcastle earthquake. The Newcastle Workers Club was destroyed by the quake and nine people inside the club died. While this brief piano solo was not ultimately used in the production the idea of looking to the future after devastation gave rise to the hopeful tone of the music.
