Sufjan Stevens announces new ballet score, Reflections
Sufjan Stevens has announced a new album, Reflections, which is a studio recording of his score for choreographer Justin Peck’s ballet.

The first piece of music they’ve shared is “Ekstasis.” Hear it below and check out the album’s artwork and tracklist.
