Nov 6, 2026
A mix of enchanted, courtly sounds and vivid contrasts follows the brothers’ shared stewardship of the Woods into the upheaval that threatens their world. The instrumental opening evokes wonder, rivalry, and danger; the vocal songs turn toward choices, divided loyalties, and the students’ struggle to shape their own fates.
