Exhibition
NOW Later x Clod Ensemble: Silver Swan
Organised by NOW Gallery
Clod Ensemble present a special performance of ‘Silver Swan’ against the backdrop of JeeYoung Lee’s NOW Gallery exhibition ‘Maiden Voyage’.
Farewell all joys
Death come close my eyes
More geese than swans now live
More fools than wise
Seven unaccompanied singers sing a beautiful lamentation based on a 17th Century melody, re-imagined and woven into a dense and haunting texture.
First performed at BAC in 1999 the two songs of the original production have since been presented at The Raphael Room at the V&A Museum, The Linbury Studio at the Royal Opera House, McEwan Hall, Edinburgh and Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. This is a unique opportunity to hear one of these songs in the intimate setting of the Now Gallery.
Performance times: 7pm, 8pm, 9pm.
As part of the evening’s programme, NOW Gallery will premiere the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust’s expedition film ‘Flight of the Swans’, tracking the migratory route of the iconic Bewick Swan, from the Arctic Tundra to the River Thames.
Join us for an evening of swan appreciation, with an opportunity to support and preserve your local wildlife in bird feeder building workshops in collaboration with the WWT.
DJ set by Hector Plimmer, mixing field recordings and sounds of nature.
