Josephine and Brigid present an uplifting and heartfelt collaboration heralding the commencement of Spring, which also speaks to a spirit of renewal and rebirth. Solo and duo works by baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach wend their way between works by Australian composer Ross Edwards, Swedish jazz composer Svante Henryson, genre-defying American voice, Jessie Montgomery and a highlight of the repertoire, Maurice Ravel’s Duo for Violin and Cello, in this the 150th year of his birth.
