Lift

The powerful 10-minute LIFT for Solo Cello was inspired by Malala Yousafzai who risked her life (and won the Nobel Peace Prize at 17) for her activism on behalf of education for Pakistani girls under Taliban rule. While Ruehr doesn't provide detailed captions or program notes, the music's language and drama lead us through both the cello's elegant beauty and Malala's heroism.
