The repertoire revolves around the string quartet, a genre that generated great acclaim for Elena's Six String Quartets (AV2379). Elena's String Quartet No. 7, \"A Thousand Cranes\", evokes experiences and resilience of children in wartime, including the internment of Japanese in American camps, and her own father's escape from Nazi Germany. Her playful String Quartet No. 8, \"Insect Dances\" - \"written for listeners of all ages\" - finds a diverse family of bugs engaged in an impish dinner party. Inspired by T. S. Eliot, The Worlds Revolve, for piano and string quartet, conjures elements both ancient and prescient. The title track, for clarinet and string quartet, centres on the Greek mythological character's excitement as he builds his wings of wax and dares to fly, rather than his dark demise as he flies too close to the sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
