Cancelled: Ensemble Variances: Listening Then and Now

To hear and see with the animals….

Amerindian artist and Kwakwaka’wakw chief Beau Dick writes: "we believe the creatures of the animal kingdom to be our brethren because in ancient times our two spirits were connected." Ensemble Variances’ programme for Bristol New Music explores the idea of humanity’s sharing of the planet with animals, birds, plants and the nature around us—in an interspecies collaboration inspired by ancient cultures for whom the above quote was an unquestioned way of life.
