The sea is our connector and our divider, our peace-bringer and our greatest danger. It breathes with us and dances in time with our bodily rhythms. This concert is a transportation to wild, remote, visceral coasts — like those in the West Highlands — exploring cultural connections to the sea and the risks presented by the changing climate.
As part of the Jerwood Composer+ scheme, Lisa Robertson has curated this performance for the LSO’s Jerwood Hall.
