Originally Commissioned and Performed as "Elements of the Earth: A Musical Discovery"
The Philadelphia Orchestra, November 2011-2012

Inside the secret lab of Sir Isaac Newton, scientist by day, alchemist by night, classical music and earth science collide in a journey of Earth's wonders. 
​

Can an orphaned kid who taught himself to read and write outwit the world's greatest scientist? 

​You bet.
