Bach in the Dark: Peter Tanfield x Sam Jinks
Lose yourself in an unforgettable afternoon at Bach in the Dark.
Renowned violinist Peter Tanfield performs solo amid the evocative sculptures of Sam Jinks at QVMAG's powerful new exhibition, Sam Jinks || Mortal Reflections.
Sit and be transported as Peter weaves through the dimly lit rooms of the Art Gallery at Royal Park. Haunting melodies by Bach and other classical composers emerge from the shadows—creating an ethereal atmosphere that interacts seamlessly with Jinks' poignant works.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience the fusion of classical music and contemporary art in a setting that promises to be both intimate and unforgettable.
