The Inner Mozart Project
Brian Finley, Artistic & Managing Director, C.M.
Where does everything line up for you? Where does it all come together? Where, on your journey through life’s challenges, concerns and ups & downs, do you stop and say “here!”?
In short, where is your Inner Mozart?
Of course, it doesn’t have to be Mozart. Choose anything you want. For me, it’s Mozart! The music of Mozart can satisfy any situation: charming, funny, poignant, devastating – you name it. It can capture any human emotion and depict any setting I can imagine. Its glorious secret may be that it is uniquely able to find the simple beauty in all things. As such, it is the perfect meeting point between the human and the divine – and fully both.
My life, therefore, is a joyful search for my Inner Mozart – that happy place where everything lines up in a beautiful simplicity – my “here!”.
Seeking the Inner Mozart attempts to describe this personal journey using the music of Mozart along with some original music it has inspired, along with some visual interpretations featuring people and surroundings found here in Westben’s beautiful Northumberland County.
Enjoy! And here’s to your own Inner Mozart, whoever or whatever that may be!
Westben is nestled
amongst the gently rolling hills of the Gunshot Treaty lands and subsequent Williams Treaties of 1923, and the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) Anishinaabeg near what is now known as Campbellford, Ontario. Our music-making is therefore in grateful recognition and appreciation of our Michi Saagiig friends whose music has filled these lands for generations.
