From composer Felix Jarrar:
“‘Happy’ is about about how I came to peace with past traumas during various episodes of depression in my life. I cried many tears and healed pain from old wounds during the writing process. This is the first time I’ve been so public with my mental health journey and my life with depression and anxiety. Musically, the song incorporates many influences. The first half is very “classical” sounding, while the second half is predominantly pop influenced. I wrote both the music and words for this set.”
Concert will take place virtually via YouTube Premiere.
This performance is a world premiere work composed by Felix Jarrar.
