St John's Anglican Church, 50 Barker St, Flinders

Wine available for purchase. Doors open 5.30pm

A 60 minute performance

Plucked-string virtuosi Ensemble 642 conjure a meditative sound world where time dissolves. 'Meditatio' entwines the shimmering voices of baroque harp and theorbo with masterworks by Bach, Buxtehude, and Strozzi, in dialogue with the serene minimalism of contemporary composers John Cage and Mamoru Fujieda, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a sonic landscape of profound contemplation and renewal.

Two of Australia’s leading specialists in the performance of baroque music, Ensemble 642 is the inspired pairing of Hannah Lane (Baroque harp) and Nicholas Pollock (theorbo, lutes, baroque guitar). Together, they uncover the shimmering textures and poetic depth of early plucked string repertoire, bringing rarely heard gems into vivid life.
