Ahead of this performance of Treeline, host Ella Lee (The Classical Circuit) is joined by composer Graham Fitkin and Thomas Boughton of City of London’s Epping Forest Charity for a pre-concert conversation exploring Treeline: the culmination of Fitkin’s 2,500-mile pan-European cycle tour from Romania back to the UK.
Together they’ll unpack how communities across Europe have “profiled” locally significant trees, and how Fitkin has woven data and field recordings from the Carpathian Mountains to Epping Forest into a new hour-long work for piano and keyscanner, turning the instrument into a newly imagined “forest instrument”.
