"Immeasurable Yearning" - Meditation and Wellness Concert with composer-violinist Rupert Guenther
This concert of contemplative music with influences of the Middle East takes us into the world of the mystics of the 11th-14th centuries, with imaginative fragments of sound we would find in the sacred places of that time. The music derives its inspirations from the devotional love-poetry of the likes of Hafiz, Kabir and Rumi, and sets the listener on a mystical journey into the yearning for divine love and the presence and quietude of the hermit saints of the East.
Composer-violinist Rupert Guenther’s imaginative playing and diversity of style deeply captures a ‘spirit of place’ through his music. Trained as a concert violinist in Vienna, Austria, his deep love of all things of nature and the cosmos has fueled his musical passions since a young age. His versatility has seen him work as sideman to the stars with many artists and orchestras including the Vienna Chamber Opera, the Australian Pops Orchestra, Beatles’ producer Sir George Martin, Olivia-Newton John, Demis Roussos, John Farnham and Hollywood singer-songwriter Lisbeth Scott.
