“I wanted to express the moment, the so-called ‘shock of realization,’ when you reach the edge of the continental landmass,” wrote the American composer John Adams about his composition Dharma at the Big Sur . The concerto for six-string electric violin and orchestra was composed in 2003 for the opening of the Walt Disney Company’s Big Sur International Theatre.
