About Us
Souls and Shadows is the title of a song composed by Caspar Barlow-Olsen during music sessions at Sir Michael Sobell House Hospice, Oxford with Bob Heath, the resident music therapist. Caspar was Danish and an excellent musician playing both the piano and guitar. At the time he was terminally ill with an inoperable brain tumour. He subsequently died at Sobell House on 23rd December 2006 and this is the link to their homepage http://www.sobellhospiceoxford.org/ The Souls and Shadows charitable foundation has been set up by Caspar's family in his memory to hopefully enhance the lives of other terminally ill patients and their families by providing and promoting music therapy.
