The Secret Life of Trees: Suite for lead guitar and guitar quartet by Oleg Boyco was commissioned in 2022 by The Seattle Classic Guitar Society and the Seattle Guitar Orchestra. There are four movements: I. The Beginning, II. The Growth, III. The First Bloom, and IV. Surviving.

The world premiere of The Secret Life of Trees was given by the Seattle Guitar Orchestra led by Mark Wilson on April 2, 2023, at the 2023 Northwest Guitar Festival at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Lucas Victor was the featured soloist, and the guitar quartet parts were each played by multiple guitarists that included members of the Seattle Guitar Orchestra as well as other NW Guitar Festival participants.
