About the Composition

"The Miracle" is a beautiful work of music that explores the theme of finding beauty in the mundane. The composition tells the story of a bear cub's day, from sunrise to sunset, as he discovers that the miracle he's been waiting for is actually the everyday moments and experiences that make life special. 

Nina Iorik shares, "Through 'Miracle', I aimed to convey the importance of appreciating the present moment and finding wonder in everyday life. I hope listeners can connect with the bear cub's journey and discover their own miracles."

The composition is written for a small ensemble, featuring piano, cello, violin, flute, and bass clarinet. Nina's original work was inspired by the sound theme of "Hedgehog in the Fog", written by Mikhail A. Meyerovich, and was developed as part of a Seattle Symphony Young Composers' Workshop where she experimented with innovative ideas and collaborated with other artists.

World Premiere with the Seattle Symphony musicians And Recording

"The Miracle" had its world premiere on June 8th by Seattle Symphony musicians at Benaroya Hall. Nina’s composition is written under the guidance of Marcin Pączkowski, an acclaimed composer and electronic music specialist.
