💡Spotlight on brand new composition by Jane Fletcher.
‘This piece is an autobiographical reflection on a therapeutic journey undertaken from 2019 to 2021. I’d also like to question our increasing reliance on mindful meditation to cope with the fast pace of modern life.’
Have a glimpse at one of the brand new composition by Natalie Summers that will be premiered in our upcoming festival on 23rd March!

'As a composer I am interested in the perception of colours and shapes and its translation into sounds. One of the aspects I find more fascinating from writing undetermined scores is the different perspectives performers give when interpreting the work.' - @IsuBenito 'Remurmers'
