7:30pm – Marsyas Trio Concert
The London-based Marsyas Trio will present an immersive multimedia concert experience featuring different composers’ responses to the natural world. The dark and remote Chapel at Churchill is transformed through sound and light to emulate the underwater experience of George Crumb’s Vox Balaenae. The concert also features the premiere of Ewan Campbell’s collaboration with Spanish photographer Xavi Bou in a series of short movements written directly onto images of birds in flight.
