Marcus Aurelius: Meditations – Violin Sketches in Sound

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.

Rupert Guenther is a Vienna‑trained, Perth‑based violinist‑composer renowned for crafting immersive, site‑specific works that blend improvisation, electronics, and evocative soundscapes. With over 35 original albums released since 2003 and performances across renowned venues like the Sydney Opera House and Guildhall Festival London, his music consistently channels the “spirit of place” through deeply emotive storytelling.
