Program Notes

Throughout our lives, we store memories through different sights, scents, tastes, and feelings. Sometimes, a particular scent reminds you of a childhood friend or a certain color reminds you of your grandparent's house. The narrator in lifetrees tells his life story through the various trees that were present during his most important memories: childhood, love, heartbreak, old age, and death.
