This beautiful series acknowledges our journey through 2020. Starting in a place of solitude – a single voice, a single violin – these concerts end in a joyous affirmation of community and shared music-making.

Under the magnificent Blue Whale skeleton in Hackett Hall, violin virtuoso Shaun Lee-Chen performs from the floor of this striking venue before being joined from the balconies by St George’s Cathedral Consort.

Perth violinist Shaun Lee-Chen is an internationally celebrated performer universally lauded for his performances of Baroque and Classical repertoire. The centrepiece of this concert is one of the masterworks of western music – Bach’s Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor. Joined by St George’s Cathedral Consort under the direction of Dr Joseph Nolan, this solo violin work is illuminated with entwined chorale melodies in an extraordinary reinvention by German musicologist Helga Thoene. Works by Arvo Pärt and a new commission from WA composer Lydia Gardiner, responding to the majesty of the whale above, complete this beautiful program.

Featured non-Australian music: J.S. Bach, Pärt
