Although Chesne has worked extensively in many different areas of the music world, one of his great passions has remained for over 20 years. This long-term project is "The Seven Worlds of Doorsmith Bloom," a cycle of seven programmatic symphonies which, while they stand alone as concert works, comprise a large-scale musical story when strung end to end.

The story of "The Seven Worlds of Doorsmith Bloom" follows its protagonist, Doorsmith Bloom ("Doorsmith" because he is a doormaker by trade, and "Bloom" as a metaphor for the blossoming of human consciousness), in his lifelong quest for resolution to the enigma brought about by his dreams, as illustrated in Symphony #2. This extended work uses mythological symbolism (in the vein of J.R.R. Tolkien or Richard Wagner) to tell the story of the human struggle, the yearnings of the soul, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Steven Chesne is the founder and primary conductor/music director of the Luminous World Orchestra heard on Brahmasong Records.
