With "Poem from Kyiv," Christopher Carr steps out from behind years of anonymous authorship to deliver something quietly personal. Entirely performed with strings, the piece doesn’t demand attention — it earns it through poise, restraint, and emotional clarity.
Carr crafts a sonic landscape that feels both fragile and grounded. The strings don’t soar — they linger, hover, and gently shift, like breath held just before a memory surfaces. There’s no theatrical gesture, only presence.
I’m writing this while the train carries me toward Kyiv, and the piece settled into the rhythm of the journey with uncanny precision. It didn’t accompany the moment — it became it.*
