Composer Chris Rosser and cellist Stephanie Winters create an original soundtrack of cello music that excerpts the Sarabande dance movement from each of the Six Solo Cello Suites by J.S. Bach, and contextualizes these iconic solo-cello works with an original composition titled "Reflections". Winters plays up to 59 cello parts resulting in a magical and lush musical cello-choir soundscape, together with collaborator and composer Chris Rosser, they create a new musical work that aims to uplift and calm the soul of the listener. This stand-alone musical work is the soundtrack to a surrealistic silent film by Merri Cyr.

This project was made possible in part with a grant from the Westport Cultural Council and the Helen Ellis Charitable Trust.
