This programme is centred around the evocative poet, Alice Oswald, and equally compelling composer with whom the Piatti Quartet have built up a close relationship – Joseph Phibbs, the programme begins with the miniature and intimate, then opens out as the poetry and visuals guide you through woodland, waterfalls, the sea, the sky and lastly the moon and stars. The Quartet is joined by The Imitation Game actor Alex Lawther.
The performance will last approximately 70 minutes, without an interval.
