Program Notes

Our brains get triggered by new experiences in a way that increases attention, learning, and memory, and elongates our perception of time. (Hikes and drives always feel shorter on the way back, hey?) During the COVID-19 pandemic, for many of us who are holed up at home (if we get to stay at home) doing and seeing the same things repeatedly, our senses of time have accelerated to a blur. These last eleven months have felt simultaneously like two weeks and ten years.
