14 . 12

Four works for violin and piano. From Intermediate to Advanced - Cert. of Performance

Music has long provided a means of expressing what words alone cannot adequately convey. In moments of tragedy, it can offer space for reflection, remembrance and a shared sense of humanity. 14.12 brings together four Australian composers, each responding to the events at Bondi Beach on 14 December 2025 through their own musical language.

Although written in response to the same event, these are four distinct works. Each composer approaches the subject from a different perspective, with contrasting musical structures, expressive intentions and ways of considering grief, remembrance and hope.

Above all, 14.12 is offered in remembrance of those whose lives were lost, in recognition of those affected, and with respect for a community whose experience should not be forgotten.
