Nick Batterham – First Snow (Music for Piano and Strings)

Conjuring sparse landscapes, the pieces are slow and cinematic, meditative, and emotional. Many cultures see the first snow as a time for reflection, nostalgia, and reconnection – the slate being wiped clean for new beginnings.

The album is centered around a piano quartet with Zoë Black on violin, Christopher Moore on viola, Michelle Wood on cello and Nick Batterham on piano.
