The first of three free performances from the string ensemble as part of Max Richter’s Sounds and Visions weekend.

Here they perform three contemporary works which reflect both their influences and those of Max; Kate Whitley’s graceful Autumn Songs; John Woolrich’s lyrical evocation of the hero’s homecoming Ulysses Awakes; and Witold Lutosławski’s tribute to Béla Bartók, Musique funèbre.

‘Sounds and Visions' sums up our feeling that creativity exists as a social project that illuminates the lives of individuals and society as a whole, and that art exists beyond all boundaries‘
