Farewell Tour

FAREWELL TOUR is the crown and dark accompaniment to Michael Williams' 15-year CITY QUARTET PROJECT, but it stands on its own as a culminating work.

Apache Downs, a wanderer without direction, awakens in a misty stupor on the fourth floor of a public library.  He wanders from the building into his home town, his surroundings estranged by memory and dream.  He hears a voice telling his story as he finds his way through a layered landscape, uncertain as to where he is headed and increasingly uneasy as to what the journey means.
