How can music increase our sensitivity to nature in the city?
Join one of several nature walks converging in a contemplative soundscape. Walkers will be welcomed with refreshments and social space infused with song. As culture converses with nature, Korean virtuoso, Hyelim Kim on the daegeum bamboo flute and Polish violinist, Piotr Jordan, will interact with bird song in a unique sound installation , creating a contemplative acoustic for the audience. People just attending the music event and skipping the walk are more than welcome too.
Walk leaders include the Tree Brides of the Baltic Wharf who 'married' trees to save them from developers, and best-selling foraging author, Andy Hamilton. Other walk leaders and all routes will be announced in September. Walks will begin at various times on the afternoon of Friday 23rd of September.
Walking routes and start-points will be detailed to ticket-buyers following purchase.
Join Cotham Club for a unique and memorable evening of contemplation and connection with nature. People are welcome to come only to the music and not the walk, but for the full experience join us for both!
