In a celebration of Bach and Bratsche, interspersed with musical reflections by Jared Yapp, the ANAM violas are excited to present a series of three virtual concerts. In doing so, we aim to connect musicians and lovers of music from all walks of life and reinvigorate the classical music scene at the moment. By returning to the timeless work of Bach we hope to offer respite from the worries of the current climate and in turn provide motivation for ourselves and our fellow artists to continue playing and creating, even if our work cannot be shared in person.

Music - Dasha Auer

a rush of blood, of adrenaline, noradrenaline
a rush like the gold rush, of zeal,
the notes play on in my head, over and over
hands put together in warmth, hands articulating
thoughts, feelings
serenity, joy, desperation, triumph
what else could express so much
in a universal language,
a language without words
