“The eyes are the mirror of the soul, and reflect everything that seems to be hidden; and like a mirror, they also reflect the person looking into them.” (Paolo Coelho)

Music for Reflection brings together the peaceful and soulful solo works by J.S. Bach, echoed in solo and ensemble works by contemporary Australian, Swedish and French composers. At this moment in time, almost 300 years since they were written, J.S. Bach’s compositions speak to us with such directness, offering a wealth of potential to replenish our imaginations and create an environment of curiosity, experimentation and creativity.

With works by J.S. Bach, Edwards, Abbott, Ravenscroft, Close,Henryson, Messiaen and Cossom, this concert is full of nocturnal echoes and colourful imaginings.
