CLASSICAL CONNECTIONS - A NEW SERIES
Classical Connections is a new digital TV series with a twist. Ever thought classical music is boring? Well, you thought wrong - and pianist & conductor Robert Emery will prove it.
The 'Grand Master' composers have led fascinating lives. There are stories of cross-dressing, murder, sabotage, gluttony, love, hate, divorce, and much, much more.
Nothing formal. Nothing stuffy. This is classical music at its most raw.
These great composers are connected through the trials and tribulations of being a celebrity of their time. Robert Emery takes you on a whirlwind tour, discovering these stories in an unusual way.
It's possible to connect classical music to anything… And Robert proves it by connecting two seemingly random items through the world of classical music, he is challenged to link a toothbrush to nursery rhymes through classical music. He is asked to connect a plastic frog to a drainpipe. Can he do it?
Robert will show and prove that these composers not only wrote music that has stood the test of time, but their character shines through in ways you'd never imagine.

Locus Iste | Anton Bruckner
Anton Bruckner, an Austrian composer of the Romantic period composed Locus iste in 1869 for the celebration of a church’s dedication. ‘Locus iste a Deo factus est’ translates into ‘This place was made by God’ which is apt for it’s intended dedication to votive chapel at New Cathedral in Linz, Austria.
This motet is for unaccompanied SATB choir and is in the key of C major, a simple key for a simple piece. Despite only having 48 bars, Bruckner wrote a the sound of angels to be echoed in a beautiful Cathedral and leaves lots of space for reflection and stillness.
Take a listen and enjoy!
“Locus Iste” by Anton Bruckner
The Sixteen
Locus iste a Deo factus est, inaestimabile sacramentum, irreprehensibilis est. This place was made by God, a priceless mystery; it is without reproof.
