"As the opening piece on the program, Shield’s “Catharsis” got the evening off to a dark and chaotic start with crashing cymbals, sinister strings, and blaring brass. Despite the ominous tone that carried throughout, the piece had some truly beautiful moments: Warm, haunting solo lines staggered throughout each section for a rich layering effect."
