The string orchestra is the perfect vehicle for this set of pieces by NZ composer Chris Blake. His inspiration is a set of four Robin Morrison photographs from his book “A Journey”.

The composer recreates that journey in musical terms as each piece is a meditation on the landscape and spirituality of each location. The four works are a synthesis of art and music and in the concert the orchestra will perform in front of the Robin Morrison images.
