The #EarBox concert series bringing music and visual art together continues with a visit to Studio 3 Gallery from the University Chamber Choir<\/strong> on Friday 24 February at 1.10pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Set against the backdrop of\u00a0Soft Formalities<\/em>, the gallery’s new exhibition, the Chamber Choir will unveil a choral programme in the venue’s sonorous acoustic, ranging from Purcell to Alec Roth, taking in madrigals by Hassler and Lassus, and works by Tavener, Peter Warlock and Alexander Campkin.<\/p>\n

The new exhibition explores layered complexity in a series of paintings, drawings, sculptures and ceramics, and the music provides a similar, sonic exploration in line and\u00a0colour, from the drama of Purcell to the ravishing hues of\u00a0Alexander Campkin, including the dramatic\u00a0simplicity of Tavener’s\u00a0The Lamb <\/em>and\u00a0a\u00a0veritable textural\u00a0tour de force <\/em>for double choir in Lithuanian. There is also a rare opportunity to hear a piece by the Canadian female composer, Jean Coulthard.<\/p>\n
