“Music as microclimate, in a constant state of becoming, floating around the edges of form, occasionally on the threshold of audition, shifting subtly, flowering, wilting, swelling, ebbing. All performed with consummate grace and sensitivity.” - Fergus Kelly, composer
QME will perform two works: one by Marianthi Papalexandri-Alexandri and Andrew Crossley, and one by Cork dancer Inma Pavon. Involving visual arts, dance and QME’s extraordinarily captivating improvised soundscapes, this will be an unusual and profound experience.
Booking required.

Where: Solstice Arts Centre | For all ages
