Singer/songwriter, Lior (Attar) is renowned for his beautiful voice and lyrics that radiate truth and sincerity, and as the world searches for compassion and understanding, the importance of music as a means of communication cannot be undervalued. In this musical narrative of love, loss and compassion, Tinalley and Lior perform a new song cycle by Melbourne composer, Ade Vincent. Three of Dvorák’s rousing love songs from his collection of Cypresses; echoes of love cherished, tormented and forgotten, are paired with Barber’s haunting ‘Adagio’ from his String Quartet Opus 11 and Lior’s achingly haunting ‘My Grandfather’. In a fi nal quest for peace, Lior and Nigel Westlake reimagine Sim Shalom (Grant Peace) from ‘Compassion’, merging the symphonic world with that of the string quartet.

Composed originally for symphonic forces, 'Compassion' is a 7 movement work conceived in collaboration with singer/songwrite Lior that draws from the rich worlds of Islam and Judaism. The work presents a collection of profound and poetic insights into the practice of compassion and its ability to transform our relationships as human beings. This particular version is reimagined for septet and features the Tinalley String Quartet with guest artists Rebecca Lagos (percussion), David Campbell (bass), Daniel de Borah (piano) and the stunning vocals of Lior.
