Commissioned, premiered, and performed around the world by Cantus as part of their 2015-2016 "Four Loves" project, To My Brother sets portions of letters written by James Clementi to his deceased brother Tyler, a freshman at Rutgers University and a promising violinist who killed himself in 2010 after being outed as gay by cyberbullies. To My Brother features quotations of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto (op. 35), Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 (K. 216), and David Conte's Invocation and Dance. Text used by kind permission of James Clementi and adapted by Ilene Wong.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of To My Brother will be donated to the Tyler Clementi Foundation.
