21st Season Artistic Theme: Coming of Age
Coming of age is to become fully established. Someone’s coming of age is when that person legally becomes an adult and is old enough to vote; when someone matures emotionally or in some other way; when something starts to become successful: the coming of age of democracy in the country.
Merriam-Webster: The attainment of prominence, respectability, recognition, or maturity; First known use: 1729 (Other words from that year), 1729 in music:
The four stages are:
1. REALIZATION—changing, emotional and mental preparation, growing;
2. REMOVAL—changing environment, separation, experiment;
3. CHALLENGE—proving ready; and
4.REINTEGRATION—back into society, rebirth, new status.
