GHOST MUSIC finds the fictional Orchestra of London and its brilliant (if erratic) conductor beset by difficulties. Zimetski, their fiery Polish conductor, drives musicians simultaneously to greater performances and personal desperation, while Pete, the orchestral manager, attempts damage control.

Then William Mellor buys an antique cello at auction only to discover that it has supernatural qualities. A mysterious young woman then joins the orchestra, captivates the conductor and attempts to captivate William. In the end, no force, whether earthly or otherwise, can keep William from confronting the cello’s true nature – as well as his own.
