The Lynn University Wind Ensemble performs Robert Gibson's The Sound of Light on September 6, 2025 under the direction of Kenneth Amis, Conductor of the Wind Ensemble and Distinguished Artist in Residence in the Lynn University Conservatory of Music.
About the work, Gibson writes: "The title of my work, The Sound of Light, has many implications that relate to my thoughts while writing the piece: first, there is the fact that sound can literallybecome light under certain conditions in a technical process called sonoluminescence. The fact that vibration can take the form of sound or light depending on frequency led me to imagine how light would sound, if I could hear it. These imaginings, of course, are of a very personal nature, and not meant to be literal or programmatic. Light exists at virtually all times with some degree of darkness, and this dynamic is very much a part of my composition."
