Music and art come together throughout the month of March, as the Kent-based collective of artists, Earthbound Women<\/strong><\/a>, presents a new exhibition in Colyer-Fergusson Gallery.\u00a0Worn and Weathered<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will feature landscape in the extreme eroded by centuries of wind and relentless rain and the pounding of the sea.<\/p>\n

Earthbound Women are united by a passion for clay, earth, form and landscape. Exhibiting together regularly, they record their dreams, annotations, observations, aspirations and their life in Kent.\u00a0The exhibition features work by ceramicists Barbara Colla<\/strong>\u00a0 and Clare Curtis<\/strong>, painter Julie Frampton<\/strong>, painter and printmaker Ruth McDonald<\/strong>, and printmaker\u00a0Kristiina Sandoe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The exhibition reflects the Lunchtime Concert which will be given by Minerva Voices<\/strong>, the University\u2019s female-voice chamber choir, and ensemble on 13th March, and links particularly to the idea of exploring landscapes, in Tundra<\/em>, an evocative piece by Ola Gjeilo reflecting part of his native Norway, and Fly away, fly away over the sea<\/em>, a recent setting of a words by Christina Rossetti by the exciting British composer Russell Hepplewhite, who will be in attendance. The programme also includes music by Abbess Hildegard of Bingen. Both the concert and the exhibition explore concepts of the natural landscape, and also celebrate women in the arts, as musicians, writers, composers and artists.<\/p>\n
