Soprano Juliet Fraser returns to City with a programme featuring Alvin Lucier's pioneering work for female voice and pure wave oscillators alongside two brand-new works that respond to the writings of American marine biologist and environmentalist Rachel Carson.
Inspired by Carson's 'Sea Trilogy', Nwando Ebizie enters the world of deep time to draw parallels between the personal and the cosmic; Newton Armstrong explores the image of a constant underwater 'snowfall' of sediment that descends gradually to intensely dark depths, forming a swirling, descending murmuration of diversely particulate matter.
New works commissioned with the generous support of Arts Council England's National Lottery Project Grants, PRS Foundation's Open Fund & RVW Trust.
