Belonging (and Longing to Be) : for string quartet / Julia Potter.
Library shelf no. 785.714/POT 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Belonging and Longing to Be is about seeking connection in new surroundings, and the nostalgia that comes with leaving a chapter of your life behind. Moving to a new city in 2019, I was struggling to adjust to life in a new city. I was grieving the familiarity of living in Melbourne, seeking the sense of comfort which filled the memories of my time there, while trying my best to adapt quickly to my way of being in Sydney. This music contains a wash of emotions, mirroring the complexity of human thoughts and feelings. Alongside moments of grief, there are moments of excitement and joy.
