Collectively, we have shared many of the same challenges, but I also know that each person's experience of this time has been quite different. Some have struggled with fear, anxiety, loneliness, and loss. Some have had to face the challenges of life and work without access to many important social structures. and some have confronted the pandemic more directly. It has also been a particularly tumultuous time socially and politically. Technology has allowed us to connect with each other in really powerful and positive ways, but it has also siloed us into more homogeneous spaces, allowing us to construct vastly different perceptions of reality. Over time, it has diminished our ability to communicate with empathy and understanding, especially with those who are different from us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach movement of \u003cem\u003ebetween us\u003c\/em\u003e meditates on a different meaning of this phrase. One of my favorite things about chamber music is the vulnerability and trust that lie at the center of it—it is an imperative—and this is especially true with a duo. It is both a challenge and an opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bent Space Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67982991261775,"sku":"C-206","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/ffbda5b231a4924b18a6be17d786790a.png?v=1793635358","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/pt\/products\/biedenbender-between-us-bent-space","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
