Inside

Inside is a profound choral exploration of the autistic experience, set to original text by the composer. Written following her own autism diagnosis at age 48, Scurria invites listeners into a vibrant internal world often unseen by neurotypical society. The work moves through moments of safety, sensory intensity, struggle, and ultimately a plea for deeper listening and connection. With evocative piano accompaniment supporting rich choral textures, Inside has resonated deeply with performers and audiences alike, sparking meaningful conversations about neurodiversity and fostering greater understanding. This piece speaks powerfully to themes of identity, empathy, and the universal longing to be truly heard.

Perfect for: Diversity and inclusion programming, mental health awareness concerts, educational contexts exploring neurodiversity, any choir seeking meaningful contemporary repertoire with social impact
