Program Notes
My favorite moment every morning when my daughter, Penelope, was 4 months old was when she would wake up full of smiles and optimism. The title, Such Small Things comes from a StoryPeople print that hangs in her nursery. Brian Andreas's words perfectly capture the anticipation of her arrival into this world.
