First described by scientist Isaac Newton in the 1600s, the laws of motion are physical principles that govern the way objects move. The laws are the inspiration for this suite, which lasts a total of seven minutes in three movements.
'Equal and Opposite Reactions' reflects Newton’s third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 'Force = Mass × Acceleration' reflects Newton’s second law of motion: the force of an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. 'Unbalanced Forces' reflects Newton’s first law of motion which states that a stationary object will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra acknowledges the traditional owners and continuing custodians of lutruwita / Tasmania. We pay respect to the Aboriginal community today, and to its Elders past and present. We recognise a history of truth, which acknowledges the impacts of colonisation upon Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and stand for a future that profoundly respects their stories, culture, language and history.
