Jane Antonia Cornish

“The music of Jane Antonia Cornish is a fabric woven by almost invisible – in her case – virtually inaudible notes and phrases, and when any sound is brought forth from the musicians mesmerised into playing her music, the sound is transcendent. Notes seem to dally in the air pregnant with silence. Phrases are strung together like necklaces of pearls magnificent in their crystalline polyphonic clarity” — World Music Report. Time, silence, light, reflection and transcendence: exploring these themes, Jane Antonia Cornish’s solo albums have been met with wide acclaim, and have been called “a font of wistfulness and melancholic beauty” by WQXR, “beautiful” by BBC Radio 3, “patient, virtuosic, and mesmerizing” by Tom Schnabel, KCRW and "a virtual blessing in a world gone mad” by ICON Magazine. The first woman in history to win a British Academy Award (BAFTA) for music, Jane Antonia has also scored many films and was named one of the UK Film Council's "Breakthrough Brits in Hollywood".
