We're proud to present the following video, which details the process of composing Transformations of Darkness and Light, documents parts of its performance by the St. Olaf Orchestra last spring, and describes the larger project surrounding it: providing an environment to learn about organ donation and transplantation. The video includes interviews with Linda Tutas Haugen; Steven Amundson, Conductor of the St. Olaf Orchestra; and Susan Gunderson, CEO of LifeSource, Minnesota's Organ Procurement Organization.
