Rupert Guenther presents his latest work, Marcus Aurelius: Meditations – Violin Sketches in Sound. Drawing on the Stoic philosophy of the Roman emperor, this contemplative piece offers a series of seven improvised movements that explore themes of resilience, humility, and inner harmony. Performed on a custom electric baroque violin, the music invites reflection and stillness, offering audiences a rare chance to engage with ancient wisdom through the lens of modern sonic artistry. Quietly profound and deeply personal, it's a performance that lingers long after the final note.
