With a length of over 20 minutes and composed of multiple movements, this piece features a group of 6 soloists, providing flexibility to highlight talents from within the performing ensemble or showcase principal players or faculty members.

Drawing inspiration from the universal themes of conflict and resolution as presented in the dark comedy series "Beef," Coping Cadences explores these narratives through a musical lens. Each movement addresses different aspects of these themes, creating a journey that resonates with both musicians and audiences.
