Gandelsman's project, This Is America, aims to capture modern American spirit through commissioned pieces reflecting love, hope, inequality, and injustice, drawing parallels to ongoing societal issues.
Gandelsman emphasized his mission saying: 'The rhetoric is still the same; the injustices are still the same. I am doing everything I can to represent these voices and support them and uplift them.'
His initiative began four years ago with a simple instruction to composers: to write for solo violin pieces that respond to current societal contexts, showcasing diverse musical styles.
The collection features a variety of compositions, including contemporary classical, jazz, world music, and electronics, illustrating a wide range of artistic responses to modern challenges.
