Award-winning ensemble The Hermes Experiment launch their third album ‘TREE’.
Award-winning ensemble The Hermes Experiment launch TREE, their third album with Delphian Records. The album is a meditation on nature, memory and change. Commissioned works by Laura Moody and Abel Selaocoe, and a vivid reimagining of a work by the baroque composer Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre are complemented by new compositions from the ensemble’s members, exploring the human instinct to find emotional meaning in the natural world – in birdsong, trees, storms, stars. With its distinctive line-up of clarinet, harp, voice and double bass, the ensemble creates a soundscape by turns intimate, luminous, virtuosic and strange.
This event will last approximately 70 minutes, with no interval.
