Description: This suite was written following a trip to the beautiful Mackinac Island in Michigan. Set in two movements, it begins with the elegant minuet Dinner at Mission Point Resort, which captures the charm and atmosphere of its exquisite restaurant. The second and final movement, Carriage Tour, takes us on a musical tour of the island, inspired by its famous horse-drawn carriage tours.
