During the course of quarantine, while doing multiple live streams to support Blue Note Tokyo and New York, Hiromi composed the “Silver Lining Suite”. It is a piece for piano, two violins, viola, and cello which is separated into four movements: 1. Isolation 2. The Unknown 3. Drifters 4. Fortitude.
