Reflections is out now, including this video featuring visualizations by Stephen Halker.

“I’m constantly thinking about bodies moving through space when I’m writing for ballet – that is what has informed this music, first and foremost,” says Sufjan Stevens on Reflections, his latest collaboration with choreographer Justin Peck. Originally commissioned and performed by Houston Ballet in 2019, Reflections was written for two pianos and eleven dancers.

I’m releasing an album of duo-piano pieces I wrote for Houston Ballet a few years ago. This is the first track, “Ekstasis,” performed by pianists Timo Andres and Conor Hanick. The original ballet, Reflections, was choreographed by long-time collaborator (and good friend) Justin Peck, who is also currently creating a music-theater-dance piece based on my Illinois album. Reflections will be released May 19 on AKR. More info here. THANK YOU! Peace to you. https://sufjanstevens.lnk.to/Reflections

Two pianos are better than one.

Peck, according to the Fisher, will transform the album into “a full-length theatrical performance with a cast of virtuosic dancers, singers, and musicians in a narrative” crafted by Drury. The musical will feature new arrangements of the entire album for a live band and three voices, ranging in style from DIY folk and indie rock to marching band and ambient electronics.
