With our feet planted firmly on the ground, as humans we find the sight and sound of thousands of birds travelling overhead to be beautiful and uplifting. As we marvel at this magnificent spectacle, it is easy to forget just how perilous and arduous this journey is. In this programme we will take you on a migratory journey, through moments of joy, sadness, movement and stillness with music and imagery inspired by our response to this truly awe-inspiring feat of nature.

A performance curated as part of our residency at Hungate Medieval Arts, Norwich. This performance explored the visual and aural acoustics of this ancient building with pieces of music chosen to represent the juxtaposition of the vastness of sound and image within this very beautiful, intimate, little church.

This performance centres around Bach’s Partita no.2 for Solo Violin, with its mighty “Chaconne”. The imagery flows in a direct response to the universal, all-encompassing music of Bach.
