Soundscapes from the Planet

In this concert, world-class musicians present a dynamic programme of music  reflecting creatively on the power of the planet to restore in face of climate change. Featuring music for Korean and Western Flutes, kora, cello and percussion, the repertoire will range from Debussy and Bach to new composition, improvisation and music from South Korea and West Africa. It will also include a collaboration between the musicians and local storytellers. Together they will offer a creative demonstration of the power of the planet to restore in face of climate change, if we will allow it.

The storytelling is being developed in a series of workshops at Arts Depot led by actor and storyteller Callum Rhys-Williams. Participants will have an opportunity to collaborate with the musicians at the workshops and the work they create together will be included in the concert programme.
