It is said music is a balm for troubled times. I find this to be true both as a player but also listner of music from this times. Here in Brisbane we have had an unseasonally large amount of water…it was also lapping at the door to my workshop…but thats another story.
Nearby composer Grant Arnold composed a piece about it for piano on his website. What I loved about it was not only the composition, but also he provided his thinking behind it…a real insight into a composers mind.
Further afield I came across ths image of a cellist in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The contrast of the music and the horrors of war all too apparent…errie and a powerful message communicated to the world through music.
